In this survey, we are interested in learning more
about your thoughts towards the role of School Advisory Council (SAC) and how
the SAC can more competently represent the needs of the school community.
The SAC is a team of parents, community members and
school staff volunteers who support and enhance the community and school
relationship. The SAC contributes to improving student achievement and
well-being and are involved in school fundraising initiatives, enhancing, and
supporting school events, hot lunches, parent education, offering support to extra-curricular activities, celebrating the diversity of our community, and
much more.
School Councils help:
- empower and support parent involvement and
engagement in our schools,
- represent and seek parent voice in Ministry
and school board consultations,
- increase, facilitate and support communication
between parents and the school board,
- provide opportunities for parents to develop
useful skills to support their student, and
- act as a resource for parents and school
councils on parent engagement and involvement.
School
Council goals should represent parent feedback, teacher input and school
administration priorities.
This survey is to help us understand different aspects
of the guardian/school relationship. Your answers will be used in aggregate,
and we will not be evaluating individual responses. As such, please be as
honest as possible – there are no right or wrong answers!
