We hope that the first week of school has been a smooth transition for everyone in your homes!
On Tuesday, October 1st, at 6:30 p.m.[Updated as of Sep 17] , Gledhill’s Parent Council will host their elections for the 2024/2025 positions. The Council is experiencing natural turnover from parents who have been engaged for some time or who have aged out of the school. The following positions must be filled for the Council to continue. To submit your nomination, please click here.
Chair / Co-Chair – provides leadership and guidance to the Council, liaises with the Principal and Vice Principal on School Council related matters, and represents the Council at external Toronto District School Board (TDSB) meetings, as required.
Secretary – provides organizational oversight for the Council, including attending and taking minutes at each School Council meeting, preparing these minutes for draft review, and assisting in the creation and sharing of meeting agendas. The Secretary also ensures that agendas and minutes are shared on the School Council website.
Treasurer – responsible for maintaining the School Council financial records including issuing cheques, making bank deposits, preparing financial statements (including annual statements to the TDSB), and bank account reconciliations. The Treasurer is a signatory on the bank account. Past experience with financial records and budgeting would be an asset.
In addition, there are plenty of other committees that traditionally exist on a parent council that will need support. Please click here to read what those are and what they entail.
The meeting on Thursday, September 19th at 6:30 p.m. will be a hybrid meeting, hopefully allowing more people to feel connected with the school and the ability to put their name forward.
If you are interested in a position (executive or otherwise), please click here to fill out the application form. Everything will be kept confidential and the vote will happen live on Thursday, September 19th at 6:30 p.m. To be considered for a role on the 19th, we ask that you do fill out the nomination form.
If you have any questions in getting involved, please reach out to the Gledhill Guardian email at thegledhillguardian@gmail.com. The Zoom link and meeting location details will be shared closer to the time.
Thank you!
