School Council

Education is a partnership involving parents, students, teachers, principals, community and school boards.

School councils provide advice on school matters and help to strengthen the important relationship between schools, parents/guardians and their communities.

All members of the school community are welcome to attend council meetings. Parents/guardians and community members are key to a successful school council. Getting involved gives you the opportunity to be part of a team working to ensure a high quality of education. School councils are supported in their work through various resources available online or through the school administrator. 

This is just one way families can get involved to support students and schools. Learn about other things you can do to engage with your child’s learning at home and at school.


 
​​​The York Region District School Board through its mission statement holds the beliefs that successful education requires co-operative partnerships among the school, the home and the community, and that effective relationships between the education system and the communities are promoted through consultation, collaboration and strong communication programs.

The Board believes that relationships between its schools and their communities can be strengthened through the establishment of local school councils which serve as a means of improving student learning and school effectiveness. School councils exist to provide parents, staff, students and community representatives with a more responsible and active role in education programs and services within their local community.


 

As well, school councils can also promote positive attitudes toward both the education of students in the school and public education in the community, effective two-way communication between home and school, and increased parental participation in the education of their children.


 

The Executive Committee is elected in September.​
