    NEW ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES

    Please see the new administrative procedure for SD63 that impacts the use of mobile devices in school’s next fall. This new procedure is in alignment with province-wide changes announced in January and the draft admin procedure was discussed at the May COPACS meeting (draft minutes here). The procedure will result in changes to how devices can be used in schools.

    WHO IS THE PROSPECT LAKE PAC?  WHAT DO WE DO?

    The Prospect Lake Elementary School Parent Advisory Council (PLES PAC) is the officially recognized voice of parents within our school community. It provides an opportunity for parents and legal guardians to become familiar with, and participate in, the workings of the school.  Being involved provides the opportunity to exchange ideas among parents, school administration and staff, discuss educational and general school issues, as well as offering a chance to become involved in a variety of social functions.

    The PLES PAC also facilitates several programs, such as Emergency Preparedness, Hot Lunch Programs, Fundraising, etc.  As parents, we recognize that our children’s success at school depends on our interest, support, and involvement in their education.

    At Prospect Lake, the PAC plays a vital role in connecting parents to our school community.

    Typical activities of our PAC include:

    • organizing fundraising and community-building events, 
    • assessing parent and staff opinions and ideas regarding school goals and expenditure of PAC funds,
    • helping promote school goals through parent education,
    • communicating with other PACs within the context of District COPACS about issues pertaining to the entire Saanich School District (SD63)

    As a parent/legal guardian of a child in attendance at Prospect Lake Elementary, you are automatically a voting member of the Prospect Lake PAC. You can play a very important role in your child's education and school by being an active participant within the PAC.

    Your participation and support will not only enrich our school and community, but also the lives of you and your children.  We invite you to get involved!
