Parent School Council
& Parent School Association
The Blythwood PSC is an organization that works to -
  • (i) help improve student achievement by advising the school principal and the school board on various issues
  • (ii) enhance the accountability of the education system to parents.
Anyone with a child attending Blythwood is a member of the PSC and is encouraged to attend and participate in general meetings. These regular meetings (held about every six weeks) keep parents up-to-date on activities at the school as well as issues relevant to parents, the school and the education system.

The PSC also sponsors various extracurricular programs and events for our children, such as the Safe Arrival program, the After Four program, Cross-Country, the Fall Fun Fair and Lip Synch.

The PSC organizes class parents each September, sponsors regular lice checks and, starting 2010-2011, will introduce the “Lunch Lady” as part of the lunchtime nutrition program. We are grateful for the many parents who volunteer their time to organize these popular programs.

The PSA, a registered charitable organization, raises money to provide curriculum support (e.g., art programs and literacy and numeracy materials) and tools (e.g., computers and sports and playground equipment) that help to make Blythwood such a wonderful place to learn. Many volunteers are needed to assist with these fundraising goals.

Fundraising Update - Summer 2010

The results of our fundraising efforts in 2009-2010 are starting to show!

In time for the start of school, our new 1st floor SmartBoard has been assembled and the laptop synced with the necessary software; 6 new Classroom Computers have been installed; the Nelson Literacy Series for Grades 2-6 have arrived; and the components for the new Multimedia Cart have arrived.

Thanks to Nick Nikita, Janet Blackmore and Jackie Singhwho spent time at Spectrum Educational Supplies this summer, developing our new Math Kits, which will be ready for September 7.

And look up in the gym the next time you visit to see a whole new row of athletic banners!
