CONSULTATIVE SCHOOL COUNCILS & PARENT ORGANIZATIONS

ST. EUPHRASIA SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER COUNCIL (PTC)
The purpose of the Parent Teacher Council consists of the following:

Planning and sponsoring activities to provide supplementary funds for the St. Euphrasia School budget.
Promoting community through cultural, social and recreational activities for the parents, teachers and children of the school.
Organizing volunteer parental assistance for the school as approved by the Principal. The Parent Teacher Council is not a School Board and is advisory only. PTC Bylaws can be found in the Resources section of this document. All parents, guardians, teachers, instructional and administrative staff are members of the Parent Teacher Council. Elections to the PTC Executive Board are held in May of each school year.

ROOM PARENTS
The role of the Room Parent is to support the classroom teacher in every way so they can create a learning environment that nurtures and challenges each student in their care. Every class and teacher has unique needs, with some classes needing more daily support than others. Room Parent support is critical to the Parent Teacher Council (PTC) in their community building and fund-raising efforts. Room Parents are also the primary contact for school emergency issues as a designated "first contact" at the direction of the principal or designated site administrator. Room Parents contact and encourage parent involvement in school and parish related activities at the discretion of the PTC Board, School Principal and the Head Room Parents. The Room Parent is also the primary helper for the teacher on class field trips.
