Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year

The Clemens Mill Public School council is getting ready for the 2007-2008 school year. The first part of this process consists of school council elections scheduled for Wednesday September 19th at 7:00PM in the school library.

The primary roles of the school council are to facilitate student achievement and to support school priority-setting. At Clemens Mill, school council has done so by working closely with the school administration and staff in order to support and deliver value-added programs and activities for both students and parents. It’s a truly rewarding process, one that all parents are encouraged to participate in, and one that does not require an inordinate of time.

For the upcoming elections, nominations are sought for:
- Parent Representatives
- Chair
- Co-Chair
- Treasurer
- Secretary

For additional information about the role of school councils, you can visit the Waterloo Region District School Board 's website and look in the Information for Parents section.

In short, school council provides a terrific means of getting involved in school activities, having fun working with parents from our community, and making a difference.
