The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is calling for applications for volunteer Parent/Guardian Representatives of CDSBEO students for the 2024-2026 term.

  • Do you have ideas on how schools can engage parents and the community?
  • Do you want to help plan and execute events and activities that will engage parents in improving student achievement and well-being?
  • Do you want to support your child’s learning at school and at home?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, please consider joining PIC today!

The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is a dedicated group of individuals committed to enhancing school experiences for children and their families. PICs build parent engagement by:

  • providing advice to their school board on parent engagement and ways to communicate with parents
  • developing strategies and initiatives the board can use to effectively engage parents in improving student achievement and well-being
  • sharing information with and supporting the work of all Catholic School Councils

PIC decides how best to achieve these goals based on the needs of the board, community, and its members.

How parent involvement committees help

When parents and schools work together, positive outcomes can include:

  • improving student achievement
  • reducing absenteeism
  • a greater sense of inclusion, belonging and confidence among parents about their child’s education

The province, school board and schools all benefit from hearing parent opinions and perspectives.

Join us in making a positive impact and have your voice heard!

Qualifications for consideration:

You may qualify as a parent/guardian representative if you have a child currently enrolled in a CDSBEO school.

Active involvement is essential! PIC meetings are held four times per school year and all selected PIC members should attend these meetings, in addition to other committee events held throughout the year.
