SAC Community Survey 2022/2023

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!
