The School Community Council (SCC) is a group of interested parents, school staff, and community members who work with the principal to support the students of the school.

 

SCCs support student achievement by advising the principal of the school on all matters related to the school. SCCs communicate information to the parent community regarding specific school issues (e.g., Health Snacks Program).

 

 

SCCs meet at least four times each school year, but Glen Street's SCC meets almost every month during the school year on the last Tuesday of the month at 6 pm in the school library. Please check our website for all of the SCC meeting dates as each month progresses.

 

 

Yes, all meetings are open to the public. However, if you wish to vote on motions of the SCC, you must be a registered member.

 

 

Complete a nomination form and return it to the office on or before the SCC Election Night (which this year is the same night as our Meet the Teacher Night – September 23, 2010). The elections will be held at 6:30 pm in the school library.

 

 

You should plan to attend all SCC meetings during the year and participate in the decision making conducted by the SCC. In addition, many SCCs fundraise to support school and SCC initiatives.

 

 

Members of the SCC stay in touch with what is happening at the school. Members also have a voice in advising the principal on school matters. Principals have ongoing communication with the SCC.

 

 

SCCs have organized and supported programs such as:

•             Family Literacy and Numeracy Nights

•             Home Reading Programs

•             Breakfast and Health Snack Programs

•             Fundraising Projects

 

SCCs can advise the principal and the Durham District School Board on a variety of issues including:

•             Student achievement

•             Student code of conduct

•             Board policies which affect students (e.g., playground equipment)

•             Spending of fundraising profits
