School Council

You can engage in your child’s learning at home and school in many ways. The school council provides advice on school matters and helps to strengthen the important relationship between schools, families and their communities. The council includes family members, school staff and community members. 

Contact school office staff for more information. 

 

A Note from the School Council Team! 

A very big welcome to all new families at EMPS! And welcome back to all returning families. 

School Council is so excited to get started and we are looking forward to meeting new families as well as reconnecting with families of the past! We hope to have many wonderful events this year and will need a lot of help. We have yet to schedule our first meeting but keep reading the weekly newsletter for that date. 

Anyone wishing to reach out to us asap, we can be reached at elders.mills.ps@sc.yrdsb.ca.​
