PPO

PPO Chairperson: Maral Halebi – mccaigppo@gmail.com

The Parent Participation Organization (PPO) is an active group at McCaig Elementary School, and is established each year at the Annual General Assembly of Parents held at the start of each academic year.

The purpose of a Parent Participation Organization (PPO) is to encourage the collaboration of parents in developing, implementing and periodically evaluating the school’s educational project and their participation in fostering their child’s success” (Educ. Act, s. 96.2).

The PPO is:

• a place reserved for parents;
• a place to help students and improve school life;
• a place for parents who want to volunteer.

Monthly meetings are held to encourage discussion and the PPO may advise the parent representative to the Governing Board on matters of interest.  Meetings are public and guests are welcome to participate and share their ideas pertaining to school life.
