The CBe-learn Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meets every month from 10:00am - 11:30am at Windsor Park Centre 5504 – 4A St SW.
Parents of any CBe-learn students are welcome to attend.
The role of Parent Advisory Council is to:
- Advise the principal and the board respecting any matter relating to the school
- Consult with the principal so that the principal may ensure that students in the programs have the opportunity to meet the standards of education set by the Minister
- Consult with the principal so that the principal may ensure that the fiscal management of the school is in accordance with the requirements of the board and the superintendent
- Provide input for parents in the development of the mission of the school and in the attainment of that mission
- Promote and support educational activities of the school and the school community
- Support the creation of a sense of community and spirit of cooperation among teachers, students, parents and the community at large; serve as a liaison between the parents and the school
- Promote parent understanding of the education system and teaching and learning processes
It is recommended that the PAC appoint a person in the role of “key communicator” to facilitate information exchange between the Calgary Board of Education, the school, and the parents.
The CBe-learn PAC will consist of the Director, Cathy Faber, at least one CBe-learn teacher, at least one CBe-learn student enrolled in the high school program at least one Homeschooling Student and Homeschooling parent, parents of CBe-learn students (elected by parents who attend the establishment meeting) and one or more persons appointed by the members of the PAC who are not parents of students enrolled in the Programs but who have an interest.
