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
