SCHOOL COUNCIL IN ONTARIO

Our students benefit from a rich tradition of parental and community involvement in making school a better place for learning. Building on the success of earlier home-community-school associations, School Councils were created in 1996 with a mandate to act as the advisory body of volunteers working together to provide ideas and opinions to the principal and School Board. School Councils may provide advice on issues ranging from school program goals, curriculum delivery, school budget priorities, code of student behavior, and school year calendar, to criteria for the selection of principals.

SCHOOL COUNCIL

School Council acts as a link between the school, parents and community, thereby allowing parents to actively participate in our children's school experience. All parents/guardians are encouraged to join with Council members in identifying opportunities to support and enhance education at Hanover Public School. Open to everyone, monthly Council meetings provide a forum for parental feedback and concerns on educational issues. Hanover School Council members may be contacted at the phone numbers below.
