What is parent council?
Parent council is a group of parents representing all grade levels that provide advice and guidance to School of Hope's administration. This is a great place to hear about the great things that are happening at our school as well as providing parents with an opportunity to offer suggestions on how to make us even better. Together, we ensure that students have the best educational experience, teacher interactions and learning outcomes.
If you are interested in learning more about the parent council, please contact SOH principal Scott MacDonald. He can be reached at 1-780-853-2188 Ext 3108 or email your child's teacher.
The next parent council meeting is on Thursday, May 23 at 2:45 PM.
