School Partnerships

A Guide for Parents, Schools and Communities

School Partnerships: A Guide for Parents, Schools, and Communities is a collaborative response to a request to update Advisory Councils for School Leadership: A Handbook for Parents, Teachers, and Administrators (1996). Relationships between schools, families, and communities have evolved greatly since 1996. Today, Manitoba schools welcome family and community representation for effective school and division planning. Families, schools, and communities that work and plan together meet the shared goal of improving education for Manitoba students.

This document is intended as a resource guide to assist both formal and informal school advisory groups and committees in their roles as partners in supporting student success at school.
