Presidents' Council
What is the Presidents’ Council and Why Every PA President Should Attend
The Presidents’ Council is a cornerstone of parent leadership in District 9. It brings together all Parent Association (PA) Presidents to collaborate, share resources, and advocate for the success of our students. This council is more than a meeting—it’s an opportunity to strengthen family engagement and ensure every school’s voice is heard.
What Happens at Presidents’ Council?
- District Updates: Stay informed about policies, programs, and initiatives that impact our schools.
- Networking: Connect with fellow PA Presidents to exchange ideas and best practices.
- Advocacy: Represent your school and contribute to decisions that shape education in District 9.
- Support: Access tools and guidance to help your PA thrive.
Why Is Attendance So Important?
When all PA Presidents attend, we create a unified voice for our district. This unity:
- Improves communication between families and the district.
- Ensures equity by representing every school.
- Builds leadership skills among parent leaders.
- Promotes collaboration that benefits all students.
Your participation matters! By attending, you’re not only advocating for your school—you’re helping to strengthen the entire District 9 community.

From the Desk of the Presidents' Council
Dear District 9 Family and Friends
On behalf of D9 Presidents' Council, we would like to extend a very warm welcome to all parents, guardians, and families of students for the 2023-2024 school year. Our children have an exciting year ahead through participation in the many events which we orchestrate, and they will also have the opportunity to give back to the community through our service projects throughout the school year. There are so many wonderful experiences for students and families thanks to our dedicated community of parents. We are thrilled that our community is growing and are excited to present you with a number of opportunities for you to meet other families and get involved in the school. You can use this website as a resource to find information on our events as well as volunteer opportunities. Fundraising by the PA provides necessary resources to continue improvements to our school and learning opportunities for our children.
Please reach out if you have any questions or ideas, or if you want to get more involved with the Parent Association.
The Volunteer Opportunities section of this website explains what we do, our events/activities, our committees and areas where we could use your assistance. Please volunteer for a committee, or come to us with new ideas. We would love to hear from you!
Regards,
Your Council Members
