St. Agnes Catholic Elementary School

Welcome to the Catholic School Advisory Council (CSAC) at St. Agnes!

We’re so glad you’re here. The education of our children is a shared responsibility, and together we can build a strong, vibrant school community. Your involvement makes a difference!

What is the Role of the Catholic School Advisory Council?

The Catholic School Advisory Council is an advisory body that operates within the guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Board policy. CSAC provides a valuable opportunity for parents and guardians to offer input and advice to the school principal and the Board on matters that support student achievement and strengthen accountability in our education system.

While the principal is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school, CSAC plays a key role in fostering collaboration among parents, staff, and the broader community. Together, we help set school priorities and enhance learning experiences through events, initiatives, and meaningful dialogue.

What CSAC Is Not

CSAC is not a forum for addressing individual concerns or personal agendas. If you have specific issues related to your child, please speak directly with their teacher or the school principal.

Join Us!

All parents are welcome to attend. We meet in the school library at 7:00pm. Please see the school calendar for dates and times, including:

• Tuesday, January 13, 2026
• Tuesday, February 10, 2026
• Tuesday, April 7, 2026
• Tuesday, May 5, 2026
• Tuesday, June 16, 2025

Our Purpose

At St. Agnes, CSAC works to foster a positive, inclusive school environment through events and initiatives that bring our community together. We aim to ensure every one of our FLAMES feels welcome, supported, and valued.

CSAC’s purpose is to improve student achievement and enhance accountability through active parent participation. As an advisory body, CSAC makes recommendations to the school principal and the Board, who in turn consider and respond to these suggestions.

Highlights from Last Year

2025-2026 was a fantastic year for our CSAC! We held five public meetings to encourage input from parents and community members. Some of our proudest accomplishments included:

• A successful Dance-a-thon fundraiser
• The Spring Carnival
• Catholic Education Week celebrations
• Volunteer Appreciation activities
• Financial contributions toward our outdoor yard and school needs.

We deeply appreciate the dedication of all our volunteers who helped make last year such a success!
