How can parents get involved at St. Patrick's Elementary School?
Parents are an integral part of the parish and school community and are encouraged to take part in the activities of the school. Parents provide the leadership needed for special activities, fund-raisers, socials and other community building events. St. Patrick’s School has an active Parent Support Group (PSG) which functions under the direction of the School Council. A parent liaison representative facilitates communication between the two organizations. Meetings are held once a month and are open the general school community.
The purpose is to assist the Principal and School Council in meeting the needs of the school community. We meet these needs on three levels: financial, social and educational.
Anyone who is a parent or guardian of a student at the school can belong to the Parent Support Group. The PSG is parent/guardian organized and managed.
We organize fund-raisers such as the Hot Lunch on Thursdays, Spirit Days and other fund-raising events to provide financial assistance for school programs, equipment and recreational activities. We stage social events such as the Fall Dance and the Fun Fair.
