Secondary Schools
All parents/guardians of Robert Bateman Secondary students are, be
default, a member of our PAC (Parent Advisory Council).We encourage all parents to come out to a meeting or two (or more) so
that you can get to know what is happening at the school and what
things we need to work on and/or improve.
We are fortunate to have wonderful relationships with the
Administration and Teachers alike.Meetings are held almost every month (we don’t usually meet in January
or over Spring Break) on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 7pm in the
library.
A very casual and laid back group. AND if we’re lucky someone brings
Starbucks coffee & goodies 🙂We find that parents who come out to these meetings really benefit
with having a good relationship with the staff, and this is very
helpful when/if any concerns arise with our children. Plus, we usually
know what is happening in the school, even if our own children don’t
share everything with us. It is a great way to really help guide and
influence the culture, community, and education of our children.If meetings aren’t your thing, we encourage every parent to contact
the PAC to see if there are any opportunities for you to
volunteer/help out even one day in the school year. That could mean
chaperoning a dance, helping with a fundraiser or field trip, or any
number of things that come up through out the year. Try attending a
sporting or arts event. Interacting with the school is a great way to
stay connected with what is really going on with our kids. High school
is the time when our kids think they need us the least, but the exact
opposite is true. This can be some parents last chance to really make
an impact on our children’s lives before they venture out into the
world on their own. Staying connected is key.Please join us at our next meeting. We would love to meet you and
share a cup of coffee (or tea).
