Parents/guardians and students can play an active role in the education of children by getting involved and staying in communication with your child's teacher and the school.

supporting students at home with reading and homework
reading newsletters, agendas and notes from the teacher
participating in parent-teacher interviews
attending special events at school
knowing school rules, expectations, discipline policies, and assessment practices
watching social media and school websites for updates

Below are some other ways to get involved and support your child's education.

School Council

Your school council is a way that you can get involved in being an advocate for your child/ren’s education at Alexander Forbes. The School Council serves as another vital link in the connection of students, schools, families and the community. Being able to hear, discuss and clarify what is happening within the school provides parents another way to nurture and support the education being offered at the school.

See more information about School Councils by visiting the Grande Prairie Public School Division website and the Alberta School Councils Association website.

The Isabel Campbell School Council maintains a facebook discussion group for parents where they share information on school endeavours and events. This is also a great place to connect with others in the community and ask questions from our parent group.

All parents are members of School Council, so please join the discussion today. HERE

Communication

By communicating with your child's teacher and our school you will be able to take advantage of knowing what is going on in the classroom, in the school and within the Division. Communication can come in many forms:

Teacher Newsletters and emails
School Website News Articles
School Newsletters
School social media posts
School Council minutes
Requests for feedback and survey submissions

By being plugged into these you will be able to better support your child's education and support your school when asked to provide feedback in their planning.

Student Advisory Committee

Students can be involved, at the division level, by being part of the Board of Trustees Student Advisory Committee. Students from across the Division meet with Board of Trustee members and Division System Leadership to provide the Board an opportunity to engage with students. The members of the committee have the opportunity to share information, provide feedback and support the development of students' personal leadership skills and strengths.
