Eric G. Lambert School is seeking interest for a Community Representative position on School Council.

School councils are school, family and community partnerships. They bring together educational professionals, parents, students and other community members and build on the collective knowledge, skills, abilities, interests and resources to enhance the education and development of children. The collaborative efforts of school councils have had a positive influence in improving the teaching and learning environment for the children in the schools they serve (A Handbook for School Councils  2nd Edition).

A community representative must be a member of the community and can be a parent of a child in the school. Community representatives are appointed by school council members. A community representative brings an additional perspective to council decisions.

As a member of the school council, the community representative:

– expresses the viewpoint of the community they represent;

– communicates the activities of the council to stakeholders;

– works collectively towards the common goal of improving teaching, learning and student achievement;

– participates in the school development process with other stakeholders; and,

– participates in and is prepared for council meetings and discussions.

EGLS hosts School Council meetings monthly.

Please give some consideration to joining our School Council as a Community Representative.

To express your interest, or if you have any questions, please email us here.

DEADLINE FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST IS OCTOBER 20, 2023.
