VOLUNTEERING
Parent Involvement:
There are a number of ways to get involved and be part of this amazing school. Fundraisers, classroom participation, field trips, board of directors, and special event organizers are just a few ways to be part of your child's school. You will also get to know the teachers and meet other parents along the way. Because the Little Schoolhouse is privately funded, we rely upon the support of each family to help make this school run at its best. Please note, all volunteers working with children must submit a current Police Record/Vulnerable Sector Check.
Board of Directors:
LSH & BCESA
As mentioned above, the parent led board consisting of a President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary work together with the Teacher and make up the Board of Directors. This school board operates under the incorporated title of Bragg Creek Education Services Association (BCESA). The board is a volunteer position that is mostly filled by parents currently enrolled at The Little Schoolhouse. It is a one year commitment of about 2-3 hours per month, including one board meeting per month. Elections take place at the General Meeting each May. This is just one of the many ways parents get involved not only in the school but in the community as a whole.
Learn more about best practices in board governance by reviewing the resources found through the Board Development Program https://www.alberta.ca/board-development-program.aspx or the Association of Independent Schools and Colleges in Alberta (AISCA).
