PAC Executive Role – Communications Coordinator
We’re looking for a parent volunteer to step into the PAC Executive Communications role for the next school year (2026/27). This is a great opportunity to get involved, stay informed, and support the PAC behind the scenes. The incoming Communications Coordinator would work closely with our current Communications Coordinator this year to ensure a smooth transition before taking on the role in September.
The Communications Coordinator helps keep parents informed and engaged by sharing PAC updates, meeting information, and school events through the e-bulletin and approved social media channels. This role also maintains and updates the PAC website. If you have experience with WordPress, that would be a great benefit. The time commitment is approximately 2 hours per week.
If you’re organized, enjoy writing, and would like to contribute to the PAC in a meaningful way, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to chair@ecolepjpac.com to learn more or to express your interest.

- Fundraising and Events Coordinator (Small/Special Events) – Coordinates and oversees smaller community-building events throughout the year, including the Welcome Coffee, Wine and Cheese PAC meeting, Movie Nights, and the Halloween Dance.
- Fundraising and Events Coordinator (Event Assistant) – Provides hands-on support across PAC events and fundraising initiatives. Responsibilities may include assisting with proposals and budgets, helping with event logistics, and attending PAC meetings regularly.
