School Council

Welcome to our School Council page for Westwood School!  We thank you for your interest.

The purpose of the Westwood School Council is to improve student learning and achievement through the active participation of parents and guardians who come together to shape our children's experience at school.

It is a place to learn about what is happening in our school community as it relates to our children’s education. It is also a way for parents and guardians to voice their opinions, and to be heard and understood regarding Westwood School and School Board matters. 

Feel free to attend one of our meetings or assume a position on Westwood School Council, the door is always open. We meet bi-monthly.  Dates are posted on this webpage to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.  Minutes are posted here also if you cannot join us in person but would like to stay informed.

Overview

School councils have a legislated role at their schools and are there to ensure the best possible education for students. Our school councils are comprised of democratically elected representatives of our parent community. Together, they:

  • focus on student learning and the best interest of all students,
  • provide a forum through which parents and other members of school communities can contribute to improving student achievement and school performance,
  • make recommendations to the school principal and the Board on any matter they see impacting accountability and academic excellence and;
  • serve as a communication and information channel between the school and community
