Advisory Council

A Message from our Parent Advisory Council Executive

The Maple Creek Middle School PAC welcomes all parents to our meetings. Each family has a vote when it comes to any decision-making. Meetings are scheduled for 7:00pm via Zoom 6 times per year . The meeting agenda and Zoom link will be sent out to parents by email the week prior. During the meetings we discuss how the PAC supports the school with funds raised and we receive updates on school business from Mr. Graham and Mr. Robertson. We are doing less fundraising this year with the pandemic restrictions but are still trying to come up with creative ways in which to do so. We are always looking for volunteers and will communicate this out to parents when needed. If you think you might like to serve on the PAC executive next year, feel free to drop into our meetings and see how things are done. We hope to see you there!
