Loan of computer equipment to students
To support students in their learning, each student will receive a computer provided by the school at the beginning of the school year. This tool will be essential throughout their school years with us, so it’s crucial that it is carefully cared for.
Here are a few important points to note:
Student responsibility: The student is responsible for the safe and proper use and maintenance of his or her computer. It’s important to keep the equipment in good working order to avoid any inconvenience.
Technical support: A dedicated and efficient team of computer technicians is available at the school to assist students when needed. They are on hand to help with day-to-day use and to resolve any technical problems during school hours.
It is also possible for the student to borrow headphones and a graphic calculator (if required in the student’s math and science courses) from the IT desk. To consult the liability contract concerning the use of the computer and any other loaned equipment, please click here.
We are counting on your cooperation to ensure that your child takes full advantage of this valuable tool, while respecting the established rules.

Parents are invited to be actively involved in school life, whether by providing themselves with tools to support their educational role or by taking part in the highlights of the school year.
Examples of activities carried out

- Classification of books in the elementary library;
- Organization of conferences for parents;
- Organization of the school staff appreciation week.
Composition of the committee
The committee is composed of a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a treasurer and parent volunteers.

The Committee holds four official meetings annually. These always take place in the evening, at 6:30 p.m. One meeting is scheduled in person, at school in May, and three more in November, January, and March virtually via the Google MEET platform.
In addition to these meetings, several specific events are to be planned depending on the activities supported by the committee.
