RAPT Nominations Close Sept 18th

In accordance with our By-Laws, the Rippleton Association of Parents & Teachers (RAPT) will elect a new council for the 2013-14 school year on September 25th, 2013.

Although all parents are member of RAPT and are encouraged to attend RAPT meetings, only those elected to RAPT Council have a vote on RAPT matters.  RAPT Council consists of the Principal, two voting staff members determined by their peers and seven voting elected parent members.


Parent members are elected to RAPT for a term of one year however there is no limit to the number of years you can be elected to RAPT Council provided you are the parent or guardian of a student at the school.  For this coming year, there are a number of current Council members who are ineligible to continue on RAPT Council for this reason and we are excited about the opportunity to add new, fresh faces and ideas to the team. Nominations opened last June and will close on September 18th.

If you are interested in the opportunity to serve the school in this capacity please fill out a self nomination form and return to the school by September 18th.  Or, if you know someone who would be a great addition to the team, please consider filling out the alternate nomination form.  Links to both forms can be found below.

Once the RAPT Council has been elected, the Council themselves will determine the Executive positions.  They may choose to determine these by skill set, volunteer history on RAPT and/or willingness to serve in that capacity.

Please contact the school or comment to this post if you have any further questions.

Thank you
