Dear Parents/Guardians: 

RE: Westmount School Council Electoral Information 

Westmount School Council is an elected advisory board of parents who have a student enrolled in Westmount Public School. Council focuses on: supporting student learning and well being; providing input, school volunteer needs, fundraising/grants, events and ultimately promoting parent engagement within the school. 

The first 2022/23 School Council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 28, at 7:00 p.m. in the Westmount Public School Library. We strongly encourage you to attend. 

2022/23 School Council Elections will be held during the September 28th meeting. Any parent/guardian of a student at Westmount Public School is invited to run for School Council. Forms have been sent home via students. Additional forms can be obtained from the School Office. Candidate declaration forms are due Monday, September 26th to the Main Office. All parents of Westmount Public School are invited to vote for School Council representatives. You must attend in person on September 28th in order to cast a valid ballot.
