Parents
Parents are an integral part of our school community.
Parent Support Group
Parental support and involvement are very important aspects of our school. Parents can be involved in a variety of ways:
- Serving on our Local School Council or Parent Support Group
- Helping out with the Hot Lunch Program
- Assisting in classrooms
- Attending field trips as chaperones
Parents are an integral part of the parish and school community and are encouraged to take part in the activities of the school. Parents provide the leadership needed for special activities, fundraisers, socials and other community-building events. Queen of Angels has an active Parent Support Group (PSG), which functions under the direction of the School Council. A parent liaison representative facilitates communication between the two organizations. Meetings are held once a month.
The purpose is to assist the Principal and School Council in meeting the needs of the school community. We meet these needs on three levels: financial, social and educational.
Anyone who is a parent or guardian of a student at the school can belong to the Parent Support Group Committee. The PSG is organized and managed by parents (guardians).
We organize fundraisers such as hot lunch and snack days as well as family events to provide financial assistance for school programs, equipment and recreational activities. We stage social events such as the Family Barbeque, Halloween Party, Mardi Gras and our annual Christmas Turkey Dinner. We provide funds to teachers for classroom materials and extra-curricular activities.
