How and When Should I Contact School Council?
If you are interested in becoming involved in the Council, or have questions or ideas, we would love to hear from you.
Have you been considering bringing a matter to the attention of school council? Here are some tips for deciding how to proceed:
|
Is it urgent? For example, does it impact student health?
If so, please contact the school office immediately at (613) 825-8600.
|
|
Is it something that applies to only your child or to some or all of the student body or school?
Please note school councils cannot access information on individual students and staff, or discuss personnel matters and matters that are dealt with under collective agreements. If a matter applies to your child or only a few students, we recommend you first speak directly to the teacher, and, if needed, then consult with the principal or vice-principal to resolve any individual concerns.
|
|
Is it an idea for supporting student learning or improving communication with parents?
If it’s something that school staff would be more likely to handle, such as a suggestion for improving the school newsletter, then contacting the school administration would be best. If you think it is something that the School Council rather than the school could tackle -for example, an idea for a parent information session- then please contact School Council!

If you aren’t sure whether to bring your item to school council, you can always contact the School Council Chair. They will be more than happy to provide feedback on how best to proceed.
