Join the HDSB Parent Involvement Committee

The Halton District School Board is looking for parents/guardians in Burlington, Halton Hills and Oakville to join the Parent Involvement Committee (PIC). PIC consists of 12 parents/guardians, serving one or two-year terms, representing all regions of the HDSB.

This year, we are appointing four new members from the following areas:

Burlington: Two elementary representatives
Oakville: One secondary representative
Halton Hills: One elementary representative

Milton positions for Elementary and Secondary reps are filled for this year. PIC members are chosen based on their interest in working with parents/guardians and staff to support school councils and parent engagement as well as prior volunteer experience and geographical need.

Additional information has been provided to parents/guardians by SchoolMessenger. If you are interested in becoming a member of PIC, please complete the HDSB Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) Interest Form. Please note: the application deadline has closed on October 12, 2023.

The Halton District School Board’s Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) recognizes parents/guardians play a vital role in the development and education of their children and in the success of schools and therefore provides a regular opportunity to network, share ideas, offer input and enjoy informative presentations on a number of education related topics throughout the school year.

PIC will support, encourage, and enhance parental engagement at the Board level in order to improve student achievement and well-being. This purpose will be achieved by providing information and advice on parent engagement to the board; communicating with and supporting school councils of schools of the board; and by undertaking activities to help parents of pupils of the board support their children’s learning at home and at school.
