​Please visit our COVID-19 page for the most up-to-date information. Our plan is subject to change throughout the school year as more information becomes available.​

One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school.​​ You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook​.​​

Information about the impact of COVID-19 on School Councils is available on the CBE website​.​​

School Council

All Mount View parents are invited to attend the monthly meetings of our School Council. The School Council is comprised of both parents and staff representatives. Our goal is to work together to create a positive learning environment for our children. Through the council, we can strengthen communication between home and school. We discuss and plan for our school’s future. We also support special events, such as Special Lunches, which generate funds for our school programs. The Mount View School Council and Parent Association is a great way to stay informed and involved in school-related issues.


School Council    

The Annual General Meeting will be May 10 at 6:30. We will have a draw for door prizes for attendees.  Click here to join the meeting , James MacDonald - Grades 5/6 will be our guest teacher.  The agenda can be found online.  

We need one more parent to join our School Council team.  It is a minimal time commitment and is a great way to develop good relationships with the staff, make a difference and learn about what's going on at the school.  Please consider taking on a position.  Position descriptions can be found in the School Council's Operating Procedures.  Happy to answer any questions through email at MountViewSchoolCouncil@gmail.com.
