Parent Groups

Currently Northmount School has a parent association, the Northmount Parents’ Association (NPA), and is actively seeking volunteers to create a School Council.  The following is a brief overview of each group.

School Council:

School Council is a volunteer based organization, registered with the Alberta School Council Association.  The School Council is an extension of the school and is a forum for parents and school administration to communicate regarding school and community topics.  Monthly meetings are open to all parents of students at Northmount School and are held in the school library. Dates and times are announced in advance on SchoolZone.

School Council meetings create space for parents to have a voice about Northmount School as a collective whole.  The meetings are not a place to air specific grievances that should be discussed privately with your child’s homeroom teacher or the principal.

School Council is a great way to engage with your child’s school!

Northmount Parents’ Association:

NPA is a volunteer based organization and is a stand-alone registered society responsible for fundraising at Northmount.  The NPA is responsible for a biennial Casino and an annual school supplies fundraiser. The NPA consults with school administration on the designation of funds and collects funds raised in a manner pursuant to provincial guidelines.

If you would like further information on becoming a part of either of these school groups, please contact the main office at northmount@epsb.ca or by calling 780-475-5162.

Fundraising

The Northmount Parents’ Association (NPA) is offering school supplies for the 2019-2020 school year through Back to School Solutions (BTSS). BTSS is operated by Value Drug Mart Associates and provides quality brand name school supplies at wholesale prices.

Take advantage of these features:

- Shop from home, all items delivered directly to Northmount School

- No line-ups and no out of stock items

- Lists are customized by the teacher for each grade level

- Supplies come in a personalized tote box individually labeled with your child’s name

- 10% of the sales will be returned to NPA as a fundraiser

Be ready for an order sheet that will be sent home in your child’s backpack near the end of the school year. This is an excellent opportunity to support your fundraising committee while buying your child’s school supplies. NPA fundraising money goes towards school events, curriculum related activities for the students and/or purchases for our school.

Thank you for your support.
