Join our Community
Parent involvement in their child’s school is highly correlated to student success. At Bancroft, your presence is welcome and your contribution is valued. Here are a few of the many ways in which you can make a difference for all students
Parent Participation Organization (P.P.O.)
The Parent Participation Organization (P.P.O.) gives the opportunity for parents to be involved in the day-to-day life of a school. By law, the PPO has a twofold purpose: 1) to encourage parents to be involved in fostering their child’s academic success and 2) to collaborate in developing, implementing and evaluating the school’s educational project. The P.P.O. can also advise the parent representatives on the school’s Governing Board about parents’ concerns. The Governing Board may consult the P.P.O. when parents’ opinions and ideas are needed (Education Act, Section 96-3).

P.P.O. Facebook Group:
This group facilitates the partnership between Bancroft Elementary School’s Parent Participation Organization (PPO) and the Parent Community, to include sharing volunteer opportunities, event notices and other communications.
Parents and staff members are welcome to join our facebook group. This is a closed group so every request must be approved by an administrator before begin accepted as a member.
Governing Board
A governing board is a body established in each school according to the Education Act. It is composed of the principal, parents, teachers, representatives of both the non-teaching professionals and support staff, daycare, and students in cycle 2 of secondary school, and community representatives who work in partnership to ensure that all students receive the best possible learning opportunities.
How to Volunteer
Sign up to volunteer at Bancroft through PPO. Please contact your Bancroft school directly. It is always best to speak with the principal and find out the proper process.
EMSB volunteers, by law, must complete a police verification report which you will be given to you by your school. Complete your form and provide two pieces of identification and send your original form via the school to the head office.
