Organization
School Board
The St. Emile School Board is comprised of both volunteer parents of children in the school and parishioners of St. Emile Church. The board works in conjunction with the administration and staff of the school to set policy and ensure the needs of the school are met through the budgeting process. The St. Emile School Board mission is to provide a safe, caring environment where children can learn to the best of their abilities.
The board meets once a month, every third Tuesday. They welcome visitors to meetings, asking only for notice in advance. The board also welcomes any parents/guardians interested in becoming board members to either contact the board president, or make their interests known at our annual general meeting.
Parents' Association
The St. Emile Parents' Association, of which all parents and guardians are a part, performs two core functions. One is to raise funds for our school and students, by coordinating various fundraising events throughout the school year. In the past, funds raised have contributed to the upgrading of the library and playground, and also the purchasing of information technology, audio-visual and science equipment for the school.
The other main function is to participate in fostering a strong community school spirit. This is done by supporting and running events such as a school barbeque, hot dog and pizza days, Pancake Day, teacher appreciation week, sock hops and parent information evenings.
Parents are invited to attend meetings, which are held on the second Tuesday of the month. Please contact any of the committee members if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions.
