About Us
Mission
The Prince Edward Island Home and School Federation exists to promote the total well-being of children and the highest standards of education for each child in the province. The Federation works in partnership with other organizations who foster this ideal. The Federation encourages and whenever possible assists in the development of policies related particularly to quality education for each child and generally to the total well-being of children in Prince Edward Island.
Guiding Principles
Why should I join?
Your child is reason enough! It is a great way to get involved in your child’s education and learn more about what is happening in your child’s school. It is also an opportunity to meet other parents and educators in your community to discuss school and education issues that are important to you, Curriculum content, class size, school bus safety, drugs and health education - these are just a few of the current ideas being raised with government. As you can see, the more members Home and School has the stronger our voice.
How Do I Join?
You can contact your local Home and School Association President, your child’s school or contact the provincial Home and School Federation office. If your school doesn’t have a Home and School association, think about getting some parents together and start one -
