Purpose of the Organization

All parents/guardians of students of West Langley Elementary are voting members of the Parent Advisory Council.

The purpose of the organization is to promote and support education, and to contribute to a sense of school community at West Langley Elementary - School District #35 (Langley). The PAC is dedicated to strengthening the role of parents in education by building an interdependent working team, fostering integrity, recognizing diversity and inclusion, demonstrating respect and tolerance, and nurturing trust. In addition, the PAC organizes activities, fundraisers and events.

“For decades, researchers have pointed to one key success factor that transcends nearly all others, such as socioeconomic status, student background or the kind of school a student attends: parental involvement.

The extent to which schools nurture positive relationships with families — and vice versa — makes all the difference, research shows. Students whose parents stay involved in school have better attendance and behavior, get better grades, demonstrate better social skills and adapt better to school.

Parental involvement also more securely sets these students up to develop a lifelong love of learning, which researchers say is key to long-term success,” (https://www.aecf.org/blog/parental-involvement-is-key-to-student-success-research-shows).
