PPO

Parents have been active collaborators in the development of the Educational Project at Westmount High School. This involvement continues in the on-going participation of parents in various ways. For many years, the Parent Committee (PPO) was the official voice of parents in the school. They were involved in both discussion and recommendations concerning various aspects of school life. They have helped to organize many of the annual events at W.H.S. These events have included a series of evenings for parents at which guest speakers addressed issues of particular concern for parents: the annual book sale, teacher appreciation week and a multi-cultural dinner.

Westmount High School welcomes parent volunteers in our tutorial program, in STEP 120 and as guest speakers in the classroom. Parents are also needed to work at the annual Book Fair, serve as chaperons at dances, as coaches for our sports teams, as club advisors and resource people.

The opportunities for parents to be an active and vital part of our school community are many. We urge all parents to get involved at whatever level is comfortable.

The PPO meets monthly in the Teachers’ Lounge and any parent is welcome to attend at any time. If you are unable to attend meetings, but want to stay informed of PPO activities and volunteer options, please email us at whsnews@hotmail.com to be added to our mailing list.
