We are pleased to share the contact information for the 2014/15 Executive Council, Committee Chairs and Co-chairs.
Runnymede is a big and busy school. Our Executive Council and the Committees arrange enhanced programming, special events and activities for the Runnymede school community over the course of the school year.
Select here for the 2014/15 Executive Council and Committee Contact list.
Irene Atkinson, our Ward 7 Trustee for the past 40+ years, is retiring and there are seven candidates running to serve as our Trustee for the next four years.
With so many important issues facing the TDSB, casting informed votes in the Municipal Election on Monday October 27th is imperative.
Please visit our Ward 7 page for information on the Trustee role and what is expected of people who serve as Trustees.
And, finally, here are websites for each of the five trustee candidates:
Noel Kent
Jim Henderson

Welcome Back! We hope that you and your children have had a good first week of school. It certainly doesn’t feel like fall just yet . . .
Our first Parent Council meeting of the new year will be held in the School Library on September 18th at 7pm. Please see the attached draft agenda and updated draft of the Runnymede Public School Constitution. Please remember that this meeting is actually two meetings in one – the last council meeting of the 2013/2014 school year and the first meeting of the 2014/2015 school year. Babysitting will be available. Room to be confirmed.
There are two open positions for Executive Council this year: Co-Chair & Treasurer. Please let us know if you are interested in one of these positions.
We look forward to seeing you on the 18th!
