Welcome back to a new school year Earl Haig Public School!

Everyone in the school community is welcome to join the Earl Haig School Advisory Council.

At Earl Haig Public School, the School Council includes elected parent representatives, staff members, school administration, and a broader membership open to all parents and caregivers of children attending the school.

The Council provides input to the principal on a range of school priorities, including student achievement, curriculum goals, budget planning, school safety, facility improvements, after-school programming, and the criteria used in the selection of new principals. By bringing together different perspectives from across the school community, Council helps ensure that family voices are heard in the conversations that shape our students’ educational experience.

The following positions will be filled on council at this meeting:

Don’t have time for an Executive role, but want to volunteer? In addition to these Executive Council roles, we are always in need of dedicated parent volunteers who can provide support in a variety of ways, including volunteers for the school’s snack/lunch program, bake sale volunteers, and much more! Keep watch on this site and our social media channels for news on any upcoming events!

You can find nomination forms here.

We invite anyone interested to join us. School Council is a meaningful way for parents and caregivers to take an active role in their child’s school experience. It creates a welcoming space for families, staff, and school leadership to share ideas, raise questions, and work together on matters that support students’ learning, well-being, and overall success.

School Advisory Council monthly meetings are a great way to learn about what is going on at the school, in our ward and around the TDSB. It’s also a great way to connect with other members of the school community, and they provide an opportunity to hear from the school administration. 

Meetings are held in-person, in the Earl Haig School Library, and a virtual meeting link is always shared as an option for those who cannot attend in-person.  Meeting days change month-to-month, but advance notice is always provided via the School Newsletter and via the Earl Haig SAC Social Media channels. Meetings usually last for about 1 hour, and on-site child care is provided. You do not need to be able to commit to attending every meeting to be able to participate! We also strive to update the website with the meeting minutes within a reasonable time frame to keep the school community informed.

The first SAC meeting of the year is scheduled for Wed Sept 30 at 6pm in the school library. More information (such as the virtual meeting link) will be coming in the next week.
