Parent Groups

School Council

Parents, did you know that students do better in school when you are involved in your child’s learning?  These students also have:

• Better attendance
• Better attitudes about school
• Better behaviour in school
• Better likelihood of graduating

Did you know that the Gold Bar School Council is a great way to be involved in your child’s learning?

The main role of our Council is to provide valuable feedback in key decisions related to Gold Bar School.  To do this the Council:

• Seeks out the views and opinions of parents and the school community
• Provides a forum for discussion at a regular meeting
• Fosters, maintains, and reflects the culture of the school

Please join us for our first meeting on September 14th in the Staff Room. We will also be meeting on October 26, November 30, February 22, April 12, and May 31

All meetings begin at 6:00 pm

Please log in to SchoolZone to access the Meeting Agendas and past Meeting Minutes.

Parent Society 

Gold Bar Parent Society is our fundraising body; we have chosen to do almost all our fundraising through regular casinos.  The Principal puts forth a wish list with input from teachers and parents that the Society approves.  Here are some of the things that have been funded over the past few years:

• Chromebooks and carts
• Fieldtrips Every year 
• Smart boards in every classroom 
• Phys. Ed equipment
• Various artists in residence/presentations, including the Alberta Opera
• Musical instruments
• Library and classroom books, a selection of fiction and nonfiction supporting current curricula

Thank you to both of these parent groups for all of the work you do supporting the growth and achievement of our students.

The Parent Society meetings happen after each of the School Council meetings. Agendas and Meeting Minutes can be found on SchoolZone in the News section.
