Welcome to the Douglas Park School Community Council page.

What is the SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL?

School Community Councils across Saskatchewan provide a province-wide mechanism for parents, community members, school staffs and students to be actively involved in local initiatives that positively impact student learning and success, including school-level learning improvement plans and career development initiatives.

These new local governance systems provide the opportunity for urban and rural residents to access the same framework of local governance to impact on the real issues that affect student learning and well-being.

The main objectives include:

* Improving communication between teachers, students, parents and other members of the community

* Being involved in the learning of our students

* Providing workshops and other opportunites for parents

* Providing direction for our school staff for future projects or educational objectives

* Providing opportunities for student leadership and community involvement

* Increasing awareness of the importance of education in our community and the well being of children

SCC NEWS

Shopping at the Northgate Mall can earn our school prizes. Every dollar you spend at the Northgate Mall earns our school 10 points. These points are exchanged for entries into draws for great prizes. Simply take your receipts to Customer Service to have your points recorded for Douglas Park School.

Boston Pizza

Boston Pizza offers school deals. When you pay for your meal, ask the cashier to validate your receipt with the store stamp and then submit the receipt to the school office. Each month the school will receive 5% of our community's total purchase. Example: 200 families per school X 8 visits to BP per year X $40 per visit X 5% earn-back === $3200!!

Campbell's Soup Labels for Education

Help us to earn points and products for our school by saving Campbell’s product labels. Peel off the label from the variety ofCampbell’s products and send them to the school office. It is important that the UPC code is intact as well as the entire label. The PSC will collect them. The collection box is located outside of the Office. Our school can use the labels to get products for our children. Let’s see how many labels we can collect! For a complete listing of products check out this website.
