Parent Council

Purposes

The purpose of our school council is to have Parents, students, school board officials, teachers and principals that work together to enhance student learning. It is a conduit for communication between interested parties, allowing parents to be involved in decisions that affect our children’s education at the local school level.

All parents and guardians of students attending New Sarepta Community High School, secondary students, teachers and principal of N.S.C.H.S, and school board trustee can be part of the School Council.

A school council is mandatory for all schools in Alberta.

School Council meetings are held first Wednesday of every Month with the exception of September, when it is held on the second Wednesday at 6:30 PM in the School’s staff room. (No Meetings for month of January)
