WELCOME TO ST. CHARLES PARENT COMMITTEE
Last year, the Board of Directors, along with Administration, started a “Welcome to St. Charles Parent Committee.” The idea was that all new families to SCCS would be assigned a current family to help guide them along the path with how SCCS works, questions about various events, general questions, and being a support as they get to know others in our school community.
I’ve currently reached out to all our new families and have heard back from those who would be interested in being attached to a current family for the purposes listed above. If you are a current family, and interested in supporting a new family throughout the 2023-2024 school year, please email me directly at tnarynski@stccs.ca
Thank you in advance for your interest and support.
Tammy
