Parent Council Meeting

Our next and last meeting of this school year will be held Monday, May 31st at 7pm in the school library. We will be allocating the remainder of our fundraising money and doing preliminary planning for next year. We hope you can attend! Minutes from our previous meeting are attached here.

Help your child next year!

St. Andrew’s Parent Council needs you! Please consider volunteering for next year. We need a Parent Council Chairperson or Co-Chairs, as well as a Vice-Chair. Volunteer on your own or share with a friend!

This is a great time to step up to the plate and benefit from the Past Chairperson’s help and experience.

And most importantly, you’ll be in close touch with what’s happening at the school and will have the satisfaction of helping your child, your child’s school, and each and every student at St. Andrew’s.

There’s never been a better time. Don’t wait (or hope) for someone else to do it. We need you!
