Parent Involvement Committee

The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) is a parent's way to get involved in their child’s education.
 
PIC LogoMembership on the PIC is through self-nomination. Interested individuals eligible for nomination to the PIC can indicate their interest in serving by completing a nomination form at the beginning of each school year. To date, elections have not been necessary, thus we are hoping you will add your voice. 
 
Our goal is to have greater representation on the PIC from across our district.  As we are a large district, please know that videoconference and teleconference are also possible for meetings.  Please consider joining the ADSB as your voice will help support all students across our district.

Summer 2025
 
Parents/Guardians,
 
It is time for our first reach out to parents and School Council members, looking for interested participants to serve on our 2025-2026 Parent Involvement Committee (PIC).   We will do another reach out in September, to ensure any newly registered families also have the opportunity to express interest. 
 
Similar to a School Council, the PIC focuses on our schools as a system, supporting school councils and addressing issues that matter to all parents across the district.  Specifically, the mandate of the PIC is to:
  • support, encourage, and enhance meaningful parent engagement at the board level to improve student achievement and well-being;
  • provide information and advice to the board on parent engagement;
  • communicate with and support school councils;
  • undertake activities to help parents support their children’s learning at home and at school. 
 
Up to 12 parent members, representing various schools and regions of the board can serve on the PIC (there are also 3 community member positions and 3 employee positions).
 
Selected members will be notified in September, following our second reach out. It is our goal to provide representation from across schools and from across our district, thus all meetings will be accessible virtually. These positions are a one-year or two-year term, which you can indicate on the form.
 
If you know someone who may be interested in serving as a community member, please feel free to share this link with them.
 
Thank you for your consideration of this opportunity.  We welcome your voice to help support all students across our district.
