Regal Road School Council is a group of volunteer parents/caregivers who organize activities and conversations that support student achievement, mental & physical well‐being, and equity. We host free school-wide events to build community and plan fundraising activities that help support curricular and extracurricular initiatives such as pizza days during the school year, large events like Spring Fair, a successful book club focused on equity issues, and helping produce the school’s yearbook.
School Council meetings are open to everyone and are a great opportunity to ask questions and contribute ideas. Updates from school administration and council members are provided at each meeting. Meetings are primarily held virtually on MS Teams. Check out our calendar for upcoming meeting dates.
∙ Information & Knowledge Sharing. The TDSB and our school can sometimes be difficult to navigate, especially for those new to our community. On the first day of school, School Council volunteers are on‐site to answer questions and give directions where needed. We also regularly share updates on TDSB and Regal Road policies, important dates to remember, etc.
∙ Equity, Anti‐Racism & Anti‐Oppression are major TDSB focus areas and a priority for School Council. Last year School Council organized a Book Club for parents/caregivers that covered topics such as mental health & wellness, anti-racism, safe spaces and belonging, and human rights.
∙ Events. We organize a variety of events each year to build community. This includes our popular Winterfest and Spring Fair and pizza lunches! In the past we have also held special fundraisers such as the Eco Swap & Sale and last year we also introduced a Regal Road Book Club for parents/caregivers.
∙ Advocacy. We communicate with elected officials at every level to advocate for improvements to health and well-being, traffic/pedestrian safety, and more investment in public education. Members of School Council have created Facebook pages for Regal Road Public School Parent Network, Queer and Trans Families of Regal Road, and Support Group for IEP at Regal Road to further support our school community.
∙ School and Site Improvement Plans. We support the school by engaging with the parent/caregiver community to provide input on plans that improve the school, including the current site improvement plan that will involve renovations to school grounds.
