The above link is for information concerning the PRO grant application process in Ontario. This grant is specifically for increasing parental involvement in the schools in our communities.

A quick summary of what school councils and parental involvement committees have used this money for;

  • handbooks for families including community resources with the idea to make families feel more welcome at school
  • Family literacy nights
  • workshops including topics on bullying, healthy nutrition, parent skills workshops, math nights
  • family resource library within a school
  • family welcome room
