School has started again and I have to say that I enjoyed the summer but it’s good to get back to a routine. My daughter started grade 10 and she was glad to get back to see her friends and find out what her schedule was going to be.
I will again be a part of the school council since I believe in being as close to the school system as possible.. The hardest part is to get other parents involved in the council and make them feel as if they are contributing to the school system.
Last year, the council started great with just over 10 members and then it dwindled down to 5 participants by the end of the year. We have funds we can use for activities but without a full-bodied council to work with, it is difficult to discuss what you can do with the funds. I would like to work on getting an after school homework program to help those students in need of tips on successfully finishing homework and for those students having difficulty in his or her studies.
Also setting up a sports program for those students who just want to participate in a physical activity in which he or she can’t get to the community centre. Our school has two gyms and therefore should not be difficult loaning one out for at least one night a week after school.
Contact your child’s school, see when the first School Council meeting is, and see about participating in your child’s education from within the school system.
