HWW School Council: Annual General Meeting - Advance Notice
|
Join Us IN PERSON for the HWW Parent Meetings & Info Session!
Parents, guardians and students are invited to join us in person at the school for our annual fall meetings and an informal community discussion.
Important Note: This is an in-person meeting at the school. Opportunity to Review Materials in Advance: You may review the official notices, detailed agendas, and draft bylaw documents on our website prior to attending: wisewoodfamilies.ca. Questions or interested in getting involved? Contact us at sc.chair@wisewoodfamilies.ca or paa.chair@wisewoodfamilies.ca We look forward to seeing you there! |
One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook.

Why is School Council important?
The School Council exists to foster collaboration between parents, students, community members, and school staff to improve student learning. It serves an advisory role to the school principal and school board regarding educational issues, school budgets, and policies, ensuring the parent voice is heard.
School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation 94/2019.
The School Council typically discusses matters such as:
■ Feedback on school planning and direction
■ Reporting to the Calgary Board of Education
■ Advising the principal and board of trustees on school matters
