The Annette Parent Council represents all parents and guardians of Annette students, serving as a link between families and school administration. The elected Executive meets monthly to discuss school activities and gather input from the parent community, helping guide decisions that support student success.
Meetings are open to all parents and guardians, offering an opportunity to learn about school initiatives, ask questions, and share feedback. Council activities include organizing events, programs, and campaigns, as well as providing input on school matters. To get involved, email annettestps@gmail.com
What We Do
School council acts as an advisory body that makes recommendations to the principal or to the TDSB on any matter. There are guidelines established by the Ontario Ministry of Education (Education Act 612), as well as council By-laws, which set out the regulations governing how council conducts itself.
The purpose of the Parent Council “is to improve student achievement and enhance the accountability of the education system to parents”. School councils are able to make recommendations to their principals and school boards on any matter. Principals and school boards, in turn, must consult with school councils on a variety of matters that affect student learning. They must also consider recommendations made by school councils and report back to the councils on how they plan to act on their advice.
As a result of funding cuts by the Ministry and the TDSB over the years, fundraising for our school has become a priority of the Annette School Council. Our fundraising supports opportunities to provide enhancements to the curriculum and enrichment experiences for our student body. Every year the School Council raises funds through a number of volunteer-run events. From monthly Pizza Lunches to the always popular Annual Fun Fair, there are initiatives run throughout the year to help increase funds for the school.
