WINTER GEAR DRIVE!

 

HELP SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL!

Hello Clairlea Families!

The 2020/21 school year is back in full swing and the School Advisory Council wanted to let you know that we are still here, working hard to support our school, with our students’ best interest at heart.

Each year, the School Advisory Council ensures that supports is given to every classroom. In the past, support has been given to every teacher, music program, donations of chrome books, buses for field trips, special events for students at the school, subsidizing school trips, gym cooling system, equipment for kindergarten students and so much more. This year, the events (Halloween Howl, pizza lunch, etc.) that play a large part in our fundraising plan have been cancelled and we have to get creative with other fundraising initiatives.

Although our school year may look a little different due to Covid-19, we are shifting our fundraising efforts so that we can still hit our fundraising goals for the 2020/21 school year.

Here are some ways you can support our school:

Meeting in Minutes - June 11, 2020

 

School Council Election/Meeting 2020/2021

We have established a date for the 2020/2021 virtual election and first meeting to be Thursday, November 12, 7-8:30pm.  Nominations will be accepted until noon tomorrow, November 5th.

We understand the delay in having our first meeting has been a concern. Rest assured we would never hold up the process for unnecessary reasons. The delay has been twofold:

1) We have been awaiting direction from PIAC as to how to hold a meeting virtually as well as the new process for elections, which are held by the principal. 
2) Subsequent to receiving our direction on how to run virtual meetings/elections there have been school specific issues beyond our control. This meant we had to wait for any council meeting or election.

If any issues are urgent and attempts have been made to reconcile it directly with your teacher, parent rep and/or the principal(s) without resolution we can assess the situation and determine the route to take further action.

If there are items you want to discuss or see organized please let us know and/or volunteer to organize. As council members we can all engage and mobilize and we have the tools and people to do so. 

We really hope that we can all work together this year with a high level of collaboration,  transparency and compassion. These are unprecedented times and we encourage patience and understanding to everyone's situation, both personally and professionally. We are all trying to figure this out. 

We hope to see everyone next Thursday. The election will be hosted by Vice Principal David who will send out an invite link.

Regards,
Laura, Lisa, Erin & Hanan
