RE:        Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) – Now Accepting Applications

The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) of the Waterloo Region District School Board invites parents/guardians of students currently enrolled in a WRDSB school to apply for positions on the WRDSB Parent Involvement Committee.

The mandate for the WRDSB Parent Involvement Committee is to:

•    Provide information and advice on parent engagement to the Waterloo Region District School Board;
•    Communicate with and support school councils of the Board through the Waterloo Region Assembly of Public School Councils (WRAPSC);
•    Undertake activities to help parents support their child’s learning at home and at school.

PIC meets at least four times a year to advise the Waterloo Region District School Board on policies and issues of concern to parents, and to make suggestions to schools, School Councils and the Board regarding parent engagement that supports student achievement.

The committee is comprised of 10 parents, as well as representation from the director of education, trustees, school administrators, and community members. You do not have to be a member of a school council to be a member of PIC.

Applications must be received by 4:30pm on October 17, 2014. For more information on how to apply, please contact the office of Stanley Park for an application form.
