Join our Home & School Team
As a parent, you are most likely already involved in the life of your child(ren), be it reading to them at bedtime, helping them with homework, or even running to and for from all of their extra-curricular activities. If you can take the time to do all of these wonderful things, why not get involved more directly in your child's education!
Join us and help us enhance the quality of education and the educational and social experiences of all our children. Together, we can better provide the means to facilitate cooperation and to articulate the needs and aspirations of the school community. This collaboration is instrumental in achieving the school’s primary goal - ensuring the best possible learning opportunities for all our Lord Aylmer students.
Please note that there is a $25 annual membership fee for joining the Lord Aylmer Home & School. This fee is returned in part to the Quebec Federation of Home and School Associations (QFHSA), which oversees Home & Schools and offers various education tools and activities for our Home & School members, financial accounting services, as well as insurance coverage for our members during activities and fundraisers. A portion of the annual membership fee also goes back into out our Home & School.
