Catholic School Advisory Council
The St. Jude Catholic School Advisory Council is made up of parents/guardians, school staff, and administration. We gather regularly throughout the school year to meet other families, learn about school operations, and discuss school issues and efforts to benefit students. It's a great opportunity to become more involved in your child's education.
Our 2026-2027 CSAC Executive is:
Kristen Nicholson - Chair
Jennifer Podeszwa de Oliveira - Treasurer
Samantha Thomson - Secretary
Janine Zacharewicz - Parish Representative
Catholic School Councils give parents, staff and other community partners the opportunity to have a positive influence on our Catholic identity, student achievement and school climate.
Catholic School Councils engage in valued discussions in an advisory capacity with the principal and school board, in support of their children’s education.
Catholic School Councils are comprised of a dedicated team of parent representatives, teachers, and the principal. In keeping with the document, School Councils - A Guide for Members, elections for the Council Executive are held at the beginning of the school year beginning with nomination forms sent to all families, followed by an election. All meetings are open to all parents.
As a Catholic School Advisory Council member, you can help your council discover new and exciting ways to contribute to the growth and improvement of your school. Please consider attending a council meeting or becoming a part of this year's council and making a positive impact on your child's education. Your participation can make a difference! Just an hour or two of your time can make a tremendous difference in our efforts.

We also need volunteers to assist in supporting school events. If you are interested in supporting our Catholic School Council in this way, please leave your name, phone number, and email at the school office and our school chair will contact you. Thank you!
