PAC Purpose and MembershipDid you know that as a parent or a guardian of a student at Aspenwood you are automatically a member of the school's Parent Advisory Council (aka PAC)? The purpose of the PAC is to:
- Discuss parents' views and provide input/feedback about our school programs, activities and goals
- Work collaboratively with school staff to enrich and enhance our children's education
- Raise funds to support school goals and provide equal opportunity
PAC Meetings
The PAC Executive team hosts PAC meetings with our acting principal, Mrs. Tipper, in attendance to provide updates, review financials, and answer your questions. Meetings are held in the Aspenwood Library Learning Commons from 7pm-8:30pm.
