EQAO results are in and were sent home, details can be found on the EQAO Website. Overall, scores were at par or above the board and province results. 

Budget Report: 

No financial report was provided for today’s meeting, however there is currently approximately $3000 in the School Council account, ($1500 general and $1500 for parent engagement). There is a grant for an additional $500-800 that might be submitted by the council.

 Grade 8 students have inquired about rebranding the school (i.e. The Jets). Students do not feel it is relevant to the school culture, nor find it representative of the Frech Immersion. Mr. Gheewala will go to Board to enquire about the logistics before further discussion. It noted the implications this may have as well as possible suggestions on how to make this a school wide initiative. 

 

3. Teacher Report:

Movie Night: to be planned 

Sushi Day Lunch: to be planned 

Big Box Cards to be launched soon 

Other Event ideas: Skate Night, Talent Show, DJ Party with Auction, Fun Fair end of year 

To note: in the past pizza lunch was organized by the School Council therefore funds were allocated to the School Council account. As the school Admin has been handling its organization this year funds raised so far are in the School Generated Account.
