Welcome to our new website!
Studies have shown us that student achievement improves when parents play an active role in their children's education, and that good schools become even better schools when parents are involved. It is recognized that parent engagement is a key factor in the enhancement of student achievement and well-being.
Students are more likely to be motivated, to earn higher grades, to have better behaviour and social skills, and to continue their education to a higher level when their parents are actively engaged in supporting their success at school.
It is equally important to recognize that parent involvement takes many forms.
The Thames Valley District School Board and London District Catholic School Board, along with a number of different service providers from across London, Middlesex, Oxford, and Elgin, are coming together to provide workshops addressing various well-being topics of interest throughout the year. For more information on workshop topics, dates, time, and accessing the workshop, please visit our website.
Thames Valley Parent Involvement Committee
The purpose of the Thames Valley Parent Involvement Committee (TVPIC) is to support, encourage and enhance parent engagement at the Board level in order to improve student achievement and well-being. TVPIC often hosts events and symposiums geared towards parents to help build capacity for parent engagement.

Thames Valley Council of Home and School Associations
A Home and School Association is an independent parent group that fosters ideals of co-operation and partnership within schools as well as within communities. Home and School members work with school administrators, teachers, and community leaders to provide all children with the opportunity to succeed in school and beyond.

Your involvement in the school council gives you the opportunity to enhance the partnership between parents, students, teachers, principals and the school board. School councils work as a team to ensure the highest quality of education and promote student achievement in each school.
Visit the School Council webpage.
We are committed to building a culture that makes sure that students, parents, staff and community members feel that they are an important part of the decision-making process. During the school year, we often look for input on new and revised policies and procedures, the coming budget, naming of new and consolidated schools and accommodation studies.
Visit the Policies and Procedures webpage for public input opportunities.
Thames Valley is looking for volunteers interested in sharing their time and talent with our students. There are numerous opportunities available, with varying amounts of commitment required.
