We believe children learn best when parents and schools work together. Open, two-way communication helps build a strong partnership between home and the classroom.
We welcome parent involvement in ways that fit your schedule, including:
-
- Classroom volunteering: Help with projects, prepare materials, tidy up, or engage with children during activities. When children see their parents involved in their learning, it reinforces the importance of education.
- Special classroom volunteers: Share a skill, hobby, profession, craft, cooking activity, cultural tradition, or special interest to enrich student learning.
- Field trip volunteers: This provides a valuable opportunity to support your child’s classroom learning and share in the experience with their class. Responsibilities may vary depending on the trip and can include supervising a small group of children, helping guide them through activities or exhibits, and assisting under the direction of a lead facilitator.
- Volunteering on the Parent Council: Volunteer parents meet monthly to support school administration and program planning alongside the Teacher and Administrator. All parents are welcome to attend.
Parent Council positions are filled each May for the following school year, with additional openings advertised in September. Roles may include:
- Chairperson
- Supplies
- Newsletter
- Yearbook
- Fundraising Coordinator
We also welcome volunteers for the Dalhousie Community Kindergarten Society Board of Directors. Alumni parents and community members interested in supporting our mission are encouraged to get involved.
