All of our CSC meetings listed above will have an option of virtual attendance. Parents/guardians are always welcome and encouraged to attend our CSC meetings as valuable members of our school community. The online links for these meetings will be shared with all parents/guardians prior to the meetings via school messenger email communication. Our aim is to ensure that our CSC meetings are productive meetings. This means they have a purpose, and respect people's time by ensuring there is a determined beginning and end, organized in the form of an agenda which is jointly created by the principal and Catholic School Council Chair(s) with input from members of the school community.

Creating an Agenda

A call for agenda items will be sent to CSC members at least two weeks prior to the planned meeting. At the meeting, the items on this agenda are discussed and addressed by the nominated members of the Catholic School Council listed above. If parents/guardians that are not voting members on a school’s Catholic School Council, wish to have an item to be added to the agenda, then these items need to come forward through nominated members of Catholic School Council listed above. This can be facilitated by parents/guardians sending an email to our Catholic School Council Info email account located at rochscscinfo@dpcdsb.org. This account has been created to support the work of our Catholic School Council. Any items should be received at least one week prior to the meeting. At such time, the principal and Catholic School Council Chair will review the items submitted and include appropriate items on the Catholic School Council Meeting Agenda.
