District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC)

Abbotsford's Parent Advisory Councils

In Abbotsford, we believe that parents are partners in education. Each school has a Parent Advisory Council (PAC) and parents are encouraged to become involved in school activities. To find out about the PAC at your child’s school, contact the school administrator.

Abbotsford District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) is an organization that welcomes and encourages representation from all PACs in the Abbotsford School District. DPACs purpose is to "support, encourage and improve the quality of education and well-being of children in our schools", while providing parents with information and advising educational partners of parent concerns.

DPAC provides advocacy to parents and encourages you to contact your Parent Information Resource Coordinators should you have concerns.DPAC also encourages and provides parent representation on District committees such as: School Planning Council Steering Committee, Traffic and Safety Committee, Special Education Advisory Committee and many more. Contact a DPAC representative to get a complete list of committees.
