Parent Education, PACs and IT, Parent Surveys

NVPAC is looking to fill our executive positions (chair, vice-chair, secretary, treasurer) for next year at our upcoming AGM (May 17th @ Lucas Centre)

But we are also looking for parents helping us with 3 different initiatives next year: Parent Education, Information Technology Leadership and Parent Surveys.

Parent Education
Working in conjunction with the families of schools, NVPAC would like to organize elementary and secondary parent education sessions similar to the recent Parents as Career Coaches workshop that taught parents how to help their children research and prepare for their future careers. We are looking for interested parents that would like to help us source and organize these events.

Information Technology Leadership
This years survey of PACs and IT in schools revealed significant variation and fragmentation with regard to information technology in schools across the district, some of which has been caused by the varied of approaches used by PACs at individual schools. NVPAC is looking for someone to take on a role of liaison between the different PACs, to keep the schools aware of what other schools are doing, share it with others and to help PACs take a less fragmented approach to the evolution of Information Technology in their schools.

Parent Surveys
NVPAC is looking to work with the School District and other stakeholders to develop an annual district wide parent survey to understand parent priorities and impressions of the school district to help us provide guidance of areas of particular appreciation or concern that the district should be aware of. To do this we need parents interested in working with stakeholders to develop, refine, conduct and report on the survey.

If you or anyone you know is interested in helping NVPAC with these projects next year please let me know chair@northvanpac.org or even better, come out to our AGM on May 17th and join the team.
