Parent Circle

The Parent Circle is comprised of a Parent Representative from each class (three Kindergarten classes to Grade 12). This is a different role from the class parents.

The Parent Circle Representative is selected by parents in each class to serve a one year term. Selection preferably takes place in spring to serve over the summer and following school year.

The Parent Circle creates a positive environment for parental involvement in the governance of the school through collaboration with the Circle of Chairs and Board of Directors. The mandate of the Parent Circle is to promote parent participation in school life, build a trusting relationship between parents and the school, work collaboratively so that everyone feels respected and facilitate positive, constructive communication within the school organization.

The full Parent Circle meets quarterly, or more frequently if agreed. Parent Circle Representatives are accountable to the parents in the class they represent to bring forward their views appropriately.
