Parent Council and Fundraising Society Meeting - Wednesday, November 16

All parents are welcome to attend the Parent Council and Fundraising Society meeting on Wednesday, November 16. The meetings are held in the Rosemont School library and start at 6:30 pm. The agendas for both meetings are listed below.   

At the Parent Council meeting, we will get a chance to see the new math materials recently purchased by the school and we will also be discussing the School Development Plan. 

There will also be a discussion about the potential changes to the area junior high schools. More information about the changes can be found at the CBE Schools impacted by new openings website and the scenarios proposed by the CBE. One of the scenarios the CBE is considering is for the Regular program, at Colonel Irvine Junior High School, to be moved to Sir John A. MacDonald Junior High School. This means the Home area students (Rosemont, Cambrian Heights, Highwood, North Haven) will have to travel longer distances to attend Junior High.


Fundraising Society Agenda

Goal of Society:
To generate funds to create an optimal learning environment for our 21st century learners.  This includes facilitating information literacy and generating global awareness among all students, allowing students to represent understanding in multiple forms, and ensuring that students learn to become critical thinkers.  Funds raised through the society will be used to purchase books, equipment, update technology, hire guest instructors/artists in residence, fund field trips, etc.
