We
wish to bring to your attention a Call for Membership Application process for
the Parent, Family and Community Engagement Committee (PEAC) now
underway. This process invites parents, guardians or caregivers of
students attending schools in the following areas to apply. Our school area has one elementary and one secondary position available.
PEAC
is an advisory committee responsible for providing advice to the Board on
strategies to support and strengthen the engagement of parents, families and
communities. The Committee’s mandate involves and is not limited to:
- developing strategies and initiatives the Board
can use to effectively communicate to parents/guardians to engage
them in improving student achievement and wellbeing
- working with school councils of schools of the Board
and, through the Board’s Director of Education, with employees of the
Board
- identifying and reduce barriers to parent engagement
Please
find more information on the Parent, Family and Community Engagement
Advisory Committee webpage
which details the PEAC application process, vacancies, and PEAC’s role and
responsibilities with your school council and wider school community.
An information session for
interested parents, guardians and caregivers will be held on Wednesday May
22, 2019 from 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. at EC-Aurora in the boardroom.
Thank you for your commitment to
supporting parent engagement!
