JEPAG Introduction and Membership
What Is JEPAG?
The Joint Educational Parent Advisory Group (JEPAG), formed in 1991, is an advisory body to the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board (HWCDSB). We ensure the lines of communication between parents and the school board are open and inform parents of Board decisions in an organized forum. We are also the liaison with our Provincial counterpart the Ontario Association of Parents in Catholic Education.
Who Can Attend?
You, your parent representatives and all parents of Elementary and Secondary School children in our Board. You do not need to hold a position on Catholic School Council. Principals, HWCDSB Administration, and Trustees are also most welcome to attend.
Where & When Do We Meet?
Meetings are now being held the first Thursday the month at 7:00pm. All meetings this year will be held at the Nicholas Mancini Centre.
Why Do We Meet?
» Communication & Information.
» Share varied opinions & ideas regarding curriculum & the educational system.
» Facilitate learning opportunities.
» Hear invited guest speakers.
» Network with other Catholic School Councils & Parents.
How Do You Join?
Minutes of our meetings will be distributed to each school on a monthly basis via email or mailbag, please post these on your parent information board. If you wish to receive a copy by email, please indicate it on your registration form. Please feel free to call our executive should you have any questions or concerns.
We extend God’s blessings for a successful year at your school. Your support in Catholic Education for our children will be your greatest endeavor.
