The Parent School Support Committee is a group of 6-12 members, parent and community members who work in an encouraging, advisory, and collaborative model with the School Principal and staff to ensure the best possible learning opportunities for students of their school. PSSC meetings are held approximately 4 times throughout the school year to discuss school events, review of the School Improvement Plan, discuss academic performance (assessment results), and provide input and help with decision making on some school related topics.
