Highlights

  • Funding: Each year in November, we allocate the funds we have raised and the funds we expect to raise to the various programs lead or supported by parents. These programs are organized by committees so the Council allocates funds to each committee then each committee is free to manage its budget for the year.
  • Principal’s Update: Every School Council meeting includes an update from our Principal with time for questions. It’s casual and informative and a great way — especially for new families — to understand how the school runs and how to get information and help.

If you cannot attend or prefer to ask questions anonymously, please submit your questions here.
