Parent Involvement

Engaging in Your Child’s Educational Journey 

Virtual Event: Thursday, October 24, 2024

Families, Parents and Caregivers – don’t miss an exciting opportunity to learn about parent involvement, volunteer opportunities, leadership roles in School Council, and to explore the many benefits that come from participating in your child’s education!

Join us virtually on Thursday, October 24th from 6:30 - 7:30pm. 

KPR’s Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is seeking three community members with an interest in public education to serve on the committee, for a one-year term, effective November 4, 2024.

Those interested are welcome to submit a letter of interest by 4:00pm on Monday, October 28, 2024.

We foster parental involvement and community engagement to build partnerships that support student learning. We believe that parents play a vital role in the education of their children and in the success of schools.

Parent involvement can be done in a number of ways such as

  • communicating
  • helping students at home
  • attending school events
  • building parenting skills
  • volunteering
  • influencing decision-making.

Parent Involvement Committee (PIC)

The Parent Involvement Committee provides advice to the Board on ways to encourage parents' and guardians' involvement in their children's education. The Parent Involvement Committee works with parents, guardians, school councils and community partners to:

  • support constructive parental involvement in schools to improve student achievement and well-being
  • seek out advise and ideas from school councils, parents and partners to plan and implement strategies to involve more parents
  • provide the Board advise on the effectiveness of communications, events and other initiatives that affect relationships with parents and school councils
  • approve expenditures for activities or projects funded with the Ministry of Education's Parent Involvement funding

How to Join the Committee

In the fall of every year, the Board puts out a call for volunteer parent and community representatives to sit on the Committee.
