About the Parent Advisory Council (PAC)

The West Bay PAC is a group dedicated to promoting school and community spirit, as well as fostering cooperation, communication, and teamwork to create a fun and healthy environment for everyone associated with West Bay Elementary School.

The PAC comprises every parent and guardian of a child registered at West Bay, making them automatic members. The PAC holds monthly meetings, in the Learning Commons but all meetings are currently conducted virtually using the Zoom platform.

During these meetings, parents, the principal, and often a guest speaker come together to discuss various topics related to the school and its community. These meetings provide an opportunity for parents to engage, share ideas, and stay informed about school events, initiatives, and important matters.

All parents are encouraged to attend these monthly PAC meetings to actively contribute to the discussions and participate in shaping the educational experience at West Bay Elementary School.

Staying Connected

The West Bay PAC understands the importance of keeping parents informed and connected. To achieve this, they have implemented various methods of communication.

PAC E-Bulletin– The PAC sends out monthly newsletters to provide updates and important information. These newsletters cover a range of topics such as upcoming PAC meetings, event registration, parent education events, and details regarding ordering Hot Lunch for the students. Parents that have completed their online policies and procedures from before school starts will automatically receive these newsletters. Parents have the option to sign up or cancel for these newsletters.

West Bay WhatsApp– Join the West Bay WhatsApp group to receive timely school reminders and messages. The purpose of this group is to share important information, but it does not facilitate discussions or conversations.

Class Rep Emails/ Grade WhatsApp group -Your class representative will send out regular communications by email that relate to class, school and PAC information. Many grades have made specific WhatsApp groups to share information and discuss class matters. Reach out to your class rep for more information.

To sign up for any of these communication channels, parents can send an email to westbaypac@gmail.com.
