PAC - Parent's Advisory Council
What is the PAC
Our PAC is the voice of the George Elliot parent community. Together with school staff, the PAC is dedicated to providing positive communication between home and school, encouraging parents to become valuable contributors to educational decisions, and allowing parents to make funding decisions to help benefit students.
Why should I attend a PAC meeting
- To hear the Principal’s report
- To have input into school planning and decisions
- To learn about community resources and gain information on topics that support students
- To meet other parents and the school staff
- To feel better connected to your child’s school
- To help enhance your child’s educational experience
Your involvement in PAC can make a huge difference to our students and school success!
