WFSA School Council


The Wedgewood Family & School Association (WFSA) is the name of Wedgewood's School Council. It is open to all Wedgewood parents/caregivers and members of the school staff. WFSA helps support our school with volunteering, hosting social events, fundraising, and meeting monthly. 

School Councils are an excellent way for parents/caregivers to get involved in their child’s education. By becoming an active member of School Council you can: 

  • Become acquainted with other parents/caregivers and school staff; 
  • Exchange ideas, concerns and gain a better understanding of the needs of our children; and 
  • Learn about the programs and policies of the school and the Toronto District School Board. 

The School Council advises the Principal on a variety of issues and activities relating to student achievement, curriculum goals and priorities, school budget priorities, school safety, renovation plans, after school activities, and criteria for selection of new Principals.

Elected WFSA Members
The School Council is made up of an elected group of ten (10) parents/caregivers, one teacher, one non-teaching staff member, one community representative, and the school Principal. 

The parent/caregiver positions are:

  • Chair/Co-Chair or Vice Chair
  • Secretary/Co-Secretary
  • Treasure/Co-Treasurer
  • General Voting Members

The ten (10) elected parent/caregiver members of council must make a commitment to attend monthly meetings (typically the last Monday of every month at 6:30pm except for December, March and June) to vote on various School Council matters. 

WFSA Committees

Every parent/caregiver of children attending Wedgewood Junior School can always attend School Council meetings, sit on any Committee, and can volunteer for various things at the school. WFSA Committees:

  • Fundraising & Events Committee
  • Pizza Day Committee
  • Graduation Committee
  • Health & Safety Committee

Volunteering at Wedgewood
Sometimes school activities require volunteers in the classroom to help with special projects, reading, math, crafts, special presentations such as Scientists in Schools, on Field Trips, in the Library, Skating program (helping to lace up skates), the Terry Fox Run, etc. Our volunteers play a major role in enhancing school life at Wedgewood. They contribute to the strong sense of community within our school. If you would like to help out, please speak to one of our staff.

In order to ensure our children's safety, Wedgewood staff needs to be aware of all volunteers and visitors. When you arrive at the school, please buzz at the main school door (Door #1) for assistance from the office staff. Please report directly to the main office at the start of your visit.
