School Council
École Guelph Lake School Council welcomes all parents/guardians, staff, and students to another school year!
School Council would like to give a warm welcome to the many new families that are joining us this year. We are happy to have you as part of our growing community.
Being involved in our school council is an excellent opportunity to get to know other parents and see how a small amount of your time can greatly impact our new school.
