Subcommittees and their mandates

Action for Carlyle’s Excellence (ACE) - Established on June 19, 2007.

Mission: ACE’s mandate is to devise methods to enhance Carlyle’s educational programme to its students and to market its potential in order to increase enrolment.

6 meetings:
The main focus on the majority of the meetings was the promotion of Carlyle School within the community and beyond. The IB-PYP Parent Questionnaire was created. A new brochure was designed for the Open House. Identification of alumni, potential donors and fundraising events were discussed and planned for the next academic year. New members were proposed.

Through a Cycle 3 Yr 2 competition, the ACE Foundation logo was created. The ACE Foundation fundraising campaign letters were designed, written in both official languages and sent to selected donors. The ACE Foundation Newsletter was created and distributed to all students before the end of the academic year. A link to the ACE Foundation was created on the newly refurbished Carlyle website.

Action for Carlyle’s Excellence (ACE) Foundation - Established on May 27, 2007.

Mission: So named after the subcommittee to the Carlyle Elementary School Governing Board, the ACE Foundation shall provide the vision and financial means by which the redefinition, new focus and wider vision can be fully realized. The ACE Foundation, comprised of members of the community and alumni, seeks to advance and ensure the continuation of the superior education programming at Carlyle Elementary School.

2 meetings:
Officers were appointed to the positions of President and Vice-presidents. Two new board members were approved. A set of objectives were adopted to incorporate within the Business Plan. The application to register a charity under the Income Tax Act was sent to the Canada Revenue Agency.

Informing the School Community

The School community is continually being informed in a variety of ways which have proven to be effective: parent/teacher interviews, school agendas, telephone calls, meetings, newsletters, the Carlyle Brochure and the Carlyle website.

Recommendations

Plans for Carlyle Elementary School are to continue the IB process, to continue PD for teachers, to market our school, and continue a partnership with the TMR community. We intend to offer the best in educational programs, raise educational standards and practices, and offer community services that benefit our students.
