Catholic School Council
As parents, there are many ways you can impact and enhance the school environment. We welcome your enthusiasm, ideas and devotion of time, and encourage parents to come forward and be active in the enrichment of your child’s school life. One way of doing so is by becoming a part of School Council or attending the council meetings as a participant.
School Councils have two primary functions; first, to promote the vision and values of sacramental life and Catholic practices of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and second, to advise to the school principal or Board on various matters.
In accordance with Ministry policy, School Council elections are held each year within 30 days of the start of the school year. Members are either elected or acclaimed in accordance with Ministry guidelines and Our Lady of Mercy School Council Bylaws. The membership of the Council is as follows :
Designated member:
Elected members:
Appointed members:
-
Parish Representative
-
Community Representative
Our Lady of Mercy School Council will meet a minimum of four times per school year. Meeting dates are published in our monthly newsletter. Parents are welcome to attend all meetings.
Working together, we can build a spirit of community and enrich the educational experience of our children.
If you require more information regarding School Councils, please contact the school office.
