*All in-person meetings will follow COVID safety & health guidelines:
- Attendees must fill out the daily screening symptoms tool prior to entering the school for in-person meetings.

Our Mission
The mission of the School Council is to work with the school community to enrich our students quality of education in a caring environment that promotes life-long learning.
Meeting Dates
The IREC School Council meets the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm in the Alice Grigg Library at the school. Please check it out on our Calendar.
The Role of the School Council:
Consult with the principal to ensure students have opportunities to meet Ministry standards, fiscal management is sound and the community’s expectations are taken into consideration during school-based planning.
- Advise the principal and the school board.
- Consult with other school councils and provincial organizations.
- Communicate information to the school community.
- Focus on the best interests of all students.
What School Councils are Not:
It is important to be mindful, that as with all partners in education, there are limits to the work that can be done by a school council.
Roles that are not to be taken on by a school council include:
- School governance
- Employment issues
- School management
- Listening to complaints
- It is not the primary role of school councils to fundraise or lobby.
Membership
