EPCA has also taken action. We\u2019ve partnered in campaigns to prevent bullying and violence, promoted mental health literacy, and worked tirelessly to strengthen communication between schools and families. Throughout all of this, we\u2019ve reinforced one central message: parents must have a voice in shaping the learning environments where their children grow.This year, we\u2019ve expanded our support to parents across the province\u2014through new trainings, better communication tools, and accessible resources designed to empower and inform. Our goal is simple: to meet parents where they are and walk alongside them as partners in their child\u2019s success.The strength of EPCA comes from you\u2014from every parent who takes the time to get involved, to ask hard questions, to advocate for better, and to build stronger connections between home and school. Your engagement gives weight to our work and helps us advocate with purpose at the provincial level.I\u2019m incredibly proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished together\u2014and inspired by what\u2019s still to come. Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your ongoing support.With gratitude,Katherine KorakakisPresident, English Parents\u2019 Committee Association<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/epcaquebec.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/EPCA-NEWSLETTER-VOL.-41.pdf\" style=\"\" data-width=\"max\" data-height=\"max\" data-toolbar=\"bottom\" data-toolbar-fixed=\"on\">EPCA NEWSLETTER &#8211; VOL. 41<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear parents, As we end the 2024\u20132025 school year, one theme stands out clearly: the well-being of our children must be our collective priority\u2014at home, in our schools, and across our communities.
