Our Community
The Carleton Heights School Council is a group of volunteer members of the school community including parents/guardians, teaching staff, representatives of the Child Care Centre and community members. Our local trustee also frequently attends council meetings to ensure the school community is well versed in the District Board’s direction or policies. The School Council supports the school by being a communication link to parents for the benefit of our students. Whenever possible, the School Council participates in fundraising activities to enhance the educational experiences of our students. Additionally, they host information sessions for parents and provide a resource library with books and information on nutrition, parenting and special education issues specifically for the use of parents. The School Council has a registered non-profit status for the purpose of financial donations (any and all amounts are welcomed).
