Parents / Guardians

To register, you will need to speak to a staff member at your school who can create a free account. Send along a link to this webpage or contact us at info@ecoschools.ca for additional support.

Once your school is registered, ask a staff member to add you to the EcoTeam so you can access our online platform. Parents and guardians can collaborate with teachers and students to create and implement an environmental action plan for their child’s school.

Parents can play a leading or supporting role on the EcoTeam but it is essential to take action! Actions can take the form of:

• • Supporting students as they launch waste-free lunch campaigns, gardening projects, track energy and water usage and run advocacy campaigns.
  • Boosting school-based actions with at-home support.
  • Spreading the word about your school’s accomplishments, events and other news through social media, community newsletters and local media outlets.

Making change isn’t always easy, but should always be celebrated. Boost morale on your EcoTeam by throwing a waste-free garden party, screening an environmental film or hosting a guest speaker. At the end of the school year, be sure to celebrate your certification results!
