WELCOME! Working collaboratively with schools and parents, the PRC provides additional opportunities for parents to become involved in their child’s school community and learning journey. With access to information and educational opportunities via parent forums and guest speakers, parents can become active participants in their child’s schooling. The PRC are here to provide you with helpful links to resources and support. We encourage and welcome your feedback and suggestions, because we are your elected representatives! Check with your school principal about how to get involved!
