School Council

CPSC's School Council meets monthly to discuss issues that impact the school community. It serves as:

  • A bridge between board level and classroom level
  • A "central hub" for our many school committees
  • A sounding board for new ideas; a way to ratify new programs
  • A forum for concerns that need to be addressed from a broad range of perpectives

School Council representatives are expected to be a voice from the perspective of their constituent groups; to keep constituents informed of issues/topics discussed at School Council and solicit information to bring back to School Council; and to serve as an avenue for constituents to bring topics to the School Council and/or CPSC administration.

All are welcome to attend! School Council meets at school on the third Thursday of each month (either late afternoon or early evening; date subject to adjustment). Check the Events Calendar for meeting dates and times.
