SCHOOL COUNCIL 2023-2024

School Council is an excellent way to become involved in the life of the school. Everyone is welcome and your input is valued. We hope that you will take this opportunity to stay informed, provide input and get to know other parents. Communications from School Council will be sent out in the Week at a Glance (WAAG) and in email format prior to each Council meeting. All parents are always welcome to each council meeting!  Attending council meetings gives you great insight into what goes into making Neil M Ross such a special place. Please attend if you can, we’d love to see you there!  

Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and are held in the Staff Room. Parents can also use the virtual meeting link if they are unable to attend in-person! School Council Meeting dates for 2023-2024 are scheduled for September 26th, October 24th, November 21st, January 23rd, February 20th, March 12th, April 23rd and May 28th. There are usually no meetings held in December or June to help accommodate families with their busy schedules during these months.
