Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
Welcome back to the 2024/2025 school year at Windsor Elementary School! The Windsor PAC has lots of great activities and events planned for this year.
What is the PAC?
The PAC is a group of parents, our principal, Mr. Heard, and teachers who meet throughout the school year, no more than once per month. We talk about ways to make our school a better and safer place. The PAC does this by:
- planning activities and events
- sharing important information with parents
- raising money for things the school needs, and
- giving parents a chance to share their ideas and connect with each other.
What’s happening this year with the PAC?
Planning for a new playground purchase!
Over the past couple of years we have managed to raise over $50,000 and are in the process of looking at some exciting new playground options.
Some fun events that the PAC has already run this year:
- Windsor Welcome Coffee
- Welcome Back Pizza Party
- Pumpkin Patch
Other fun upcoming events:
- Family photoshoot fundraiser
- Purdy’s chocolate fundraiser
- Parent social event
- Read-a-Thon
- And more!
Who is part of the PAC?
YOU are! All parents are automatically members of the PAC. You don’t need to hold a formal role to be a valuable part of the planning, decision-making, and idea-sharing.

How can I help?
The PAC could definitely use more help – we are a small group and can’t do it all (as much as we would like to). There are lots of ways you can help that would make a big difference and these don’t actually need to take up a lot of your own time!
For example:
- Volunteering to help at an event – e.g. set up, hand out food
- Distributing items to classrooms
- Attending a PAC meeting to share your ideas – we want to hear them!
- Joining the PAC – no special experience is required! We have two empty positions and are looking to fill them.
- Participating in fundraising activities
Why should I help?
- To meet other parents and get to know the staff better – this can be especially nice for those parents who don’t get to do drop offs or pick ups
- To get insight into what’s going on at the school
- To voice your opinion or ask questions
- To influence future activities/events
- To feel part of the school community
- To get experience that can be added to a resume
A little of your time goes a long way—your help can make an event or activity a success! Please contact us if you are able to help out in any way.
