This website (and corresponding facebook group) is dedicated to the Pineridge School Parent Association (PSPA) - a formal group of parents, incorporated under the Societies Act for the purpose of raising funds for the school, and promoting school community engagement. All parents/guardians of Pineridge School students are considered General Members of the Pineridge School Parent Association.
"So what's the difference between School Council and the Parent Association???"
The purpose of School Council is for our principal(s)/teachers AND parents to have an opportunity to work together, share information, discuss concerns, and plan for the future.
The Parent Association is a formal group of PARENTS/guardians who's purpose is raising funds for the school, and promoting school community engagement.
...
Basically, School Council is for school representatives, and parents/guardians to come together (in meetings) to discuss upcoming events, and voice concerns (in a respectful manner) relating to our school, while the Parent Association is for parents/guardians (not school representatives), who's primary objective is to fundraise for items and opportunities that our students would otherwise not receive through the basic education program offered, as well as to organize and run social events such as dances, movie nights, etc.
