Partners In Education
We understand that a parent is their child’s first teacher and value the relationship between family and school. Ongoing communication and participation in the school community is the key to success! We encourage families to take any opportunity they can to get involved with our school, whether it be joining our School Community Council or joining us for in-school activities and curriculum days.

School Council
School Councils are advisory bodies. At Grandview School, our council also functions as the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) for the Grandview School Authority. The mandate of the School Council provides parents, students, staff, and community representatives with the opportunity and means to advise the principal and the board on ideas that lead to improving learning opportunities for students.
Composition shall include the following members:
- parents/guardians of students and former students served by the School
- a teacher
- a non-teaching staff member employed at the school
- a Grandview Children’s Centre representative
Parents/guardians of students and former students will form a majority of the Council. As well, the School Council will include the school principal and may include a community representative. The Grandview School Community Council provides parents with the opportunity and means to advise the principal and the school authority board on ideas that lead to improving learning opportunities for students. The School Council meets about four times a year. No prior experience is necessary. At Grandview School, we think it’s important for all families to have a voice. This is your opportunity to participate and to help make decisions for our school.
If you are interested in joining, please contact our school office or your child’s educator.
