Home and School Association

You CAN Make a Difference at Your Child’s School

As a parent of a student at Roch Carrier, you may attend any Home and School or School Council meeting. While attending these meetings, you can help both groups discover new and exciting ways to contribute to the education of students at Roch Carrier French Immersion.

Education is a partnership involving parents, students, teachers, principals, school boards, government, and the community. Your participation can make a difference!

Parental involvement is one of the most significant factors contributing to a child’s success in school. When parents are involved, student achievement increases. Students attend school more regularly, complete homework more consistently, and demonstrate more positive attitudes toward school.

Yearly Elections:
Tuesday, September 23 at 6:30 PM (in person or online — see website calendar).

  • Constructive: See projects from start to finish and their impact on students.
  • Educational: Share information about education topics.
