School Council Meeting- Sept.12
SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT 6:30PM
Our school council AGM is Tuesday, September 12th at 6:30 and all adults in the JJ community are welcome to attend! Childcare will be provided at no cost.
There will be updates about our staff & student population, information about some exciting things happening this school year, a chance to weigh in on how council spends this year's School Council Engagement Grant, & more. It's a great chance to meet other members of our school community, learn more about the functioning of our school & have a say in some of the things we do each school year.
Attendance is optional but beneficial; studies show that increased parent & guardian engagement at school translates to increased student engagement. Everyone is welcome to sit in & observe; nothing is asked of anyone who doesn't feel comfortable contributing. That said, we will need a few parent volunteers to ensure things run smoothly this school year. Our secretaries for both Janet Johnstone School Council (JJSC) & the Friends of Janet Johnstone School Association (FJJSA) have completed their terms so we will need help with minute-taking each month along with a handful of other light paperwork tasks; these positions average a couple of hours of work each month including meeting attendance. We will also need a volunteer coordinator; this person helps organize & coordinate volunteers for the many opportunities that exist each year for parents & guardians to pitch in. The position of volunteer coordinator has been shared in the past if this arrangement interests you. Any questions regarding JJSC & FJJSA can be directed to our chairperson, Michelle Wong at michellewong@shaw.ca.
Time: 6:30pm
Where: In-Person at the school (in the staffroom)
