Parents  play a vital role in the governance of New Brunswick schools, through District Education Councils at the school district level and through  Parent School Support Committees at the school level.

 

 

 

Dear Parents of Island View School,
 
Our Parent School Support Committee meets 4-5 times a year in the school library. Meetings are open to the public. In addition to participation in developing the School Improvement Plan, the committee has submitted written recommendations to the Department of Education on such issues as the Positive School Learning Environment, PISA international test results and the Community Use of Schools. The PSSC has also organized parent information evenings on a variety of topics including internet safety, developing self-esteem in children, and helping children develop literacy and math skills. More recently, the PSSC has assisted with increasing focus on multiculturalism and bilingual signage throughout the school.

We are pleased to be your representatives on the Island View Parent School Support Committee. Please feel free to contact us or Ms. Aimee Short with concerns or issues related to PSSC responsibilities.  

Thank you,
The Island View PSSC
