SCHOOL COUNCIL INFORMATION

  Elections for 2012-13 School Council

What is School Council?

School Council is a group of parents who volunteer to work together to support student achievement and bring the parent view to school activities. School Council is made up of 12 parents, a teacher representative and community representative. If more than 12 parents volunteer, then an election must be held,

 

New This Year:

School Council elections for the next school year will take place on September 20, 2012 (Meet the Teacher Night). (Incoming kindergarten students will receive information in their new student packages.)

What is involved in being an elected member of School Council?

School Council meets 8 times a year. Meetings usually are from 6:00 to 7:30 (sometimes 8:00) on the third Wednesday of the month.

Each parent takes responsibility for coordinating an activity. This includes fund-raising (hot lunch days, Wendy’s Night, magazine sales), teacher/staff appreciation lunch, meet the teacher night, head lice checks, Stone Soup day, etc. Major activities have more than one parent coordinating.

This is your opportunity to see the "big picture" of life at Fairview. The entire school view, not just one classroom or one student’s perspective.

The Term of Office is for one year, members may be re-elected
