Class Parent

Supporting Families

The PAC provides resources and opportunities that make school life easier and more enjoyable for families.

School Partnership

The PAC works hand-in-hand with staff to enhance programs and experiences for all students.

Building Community

We create events and initiatives that bring parents, students, and staff together.

 

Becoming a Class Parent is a great opportunity to meet other parents and help enhance our our community.

Dorothy Lynas Class Reps play a key role in assisting the PAC to communicate information to the rest of the class.

How do I get involved?

Reach out to the PAC Executive to volunteer for your class! Please note that this role does not represent the school and is not a school sponsored position.

General responsibilities include:

Coordinate fun and social stuff for your community outside of school!

  • Get to know the other class parents and act as a link to the PAC.
  • Facilitate connections among parents in your class by facilitating a class chat in Konstella and sharing contact information for those who wish to share it!

PAC communications and coordination:

  • Act as a liaison between the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and your class parents.
  • Share information on behalf of the PAC to inform and remind your class of upcoming PAC events and initiatives at Dorothy Lynas.
  • Help organize PAC-related fundraising initiatives for your class such as Seycove Family of Schools Auction Baskets and Purdy’s Chocolate pick ups.
  • Organize holiday and end of year gifts for your teacher if your class chooses to!

Please note this role no longer involves liaising with your classroom teacher and is only a PAC communications role.

  • Communicating information that all parents need to know.
  • Planning field trips, including the collection of money and making the driving list for the office.
  • Maintaining class websites
