There is an overwhelming body of research that shows that parental involvement in education has a positive and lasting impact on a child. Whether you've got a little bit of time or a lot, there can be a place for you!

Helping Your Child at Home

Parents and guardians can play an important role at home through understanding expectations, encouraging good homework habits and maintaining good communication with teachers throughout the school year. Parents of older students can assist with secondary course selections as well. We encourage you to to explore the wealth of online resources included on this page to help you 'Get Involved!'

 
Volunteering

SCDSB volunteers are extra special people who help make our schools the very best they can be. You can lend a helping hand just once for a special event or field trip, or dedicate time on a more regular basis.

Please contact your child's school to see what volunteer opportunities there may be that fit your own schedule, interests and unique talents.

 
Catholic School Councils

Catholic School Councils play a key role in our schools. Councils are tasked by the province to make recommendations to their principal or to the Sudbury Catholic District School Board on any matter affecting the school community.

If you have leadership skills you'd like you share with a Catholic School community, we encourage you to consider seeking a position on School Council.
