Ecole Robert H Smith PAG

 
The Parents' Advisory Group Inc

The Parents' Advisory Group Inc. (P.A.G.), our parent council, is involved in all facets of school life at École Robert H. Smith School. This means that there is truly something for every parent who wants to become involved with their children's school or the wider school community and educational issues at large.

The parents, who are involved in our standing committees and the directors’ at large positions, spend countless hours organizing, planning and executing a wide range of exciting opportunities and events for our school community each year.

Our P.A.G. organizes and supports the Block Parent Program and provides four Fun Lunches per year to give students and parents a break from their regular lunch routines. We organize a much anticipated Staff Appreciation week for our staff and administration each year, host an Annual Family Dance in the winter and offer an outdoor Family Picnic in the spring for all students, families and staff. The P.A.G. Fundraising and Promotions Directors plan various opportunities throughout the year that allow families to participate in raising monies for projects, large and small, to aid our students' education and enhance their school experience. Our most recent major fundraising drive resulted in the paved fitness track that runs along the inside perimeter of our school property. Our Environment Committee works hard to ensure that our school property is green and eco-friendly and our volunteer Recruitment Directors do their best to include all those parents and guardians who wish to volunteer, with an opportunity to do so.

The P.A.G. is also deeply committed to its involvement in the wider educational community. We have representatives who participate in the Winnipeg School Division's French Immersion Advisory Committee and the South District Advisory Committee. Through these committees, our parents and P.A.G. become aware of policy decisions and updates made at the school division level.

Our P.A.G. meets approximately five times during the school year and all parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend. See the monthly school Newsletter or this website for regular updates and information from the École Robert H. Smith School, Parent's Advisory Group.
