Get Involved
Parent involvement is a cornerstone of our success. Because learning transcends the classroom at Urban Academy, we ensure to include parents in our community-wide activities as much as possible. Involved parents help develop inspired children.
PAX: Parent Auxiliary
PAX is a conduit of community. The committee is made up of parents with diverse skills, who love planning events and have a creative streak. PAX has a busy calendar of fundraisers, and all funds raised go toward camping activities for all students at the end of the year.
Used Uniform Sale
Urban Academy PAX sells gently used uniform pieces. We hold occasional used uniform sales, and if you have items to donate, please contact useduniforms@urbanacademy.ca. It’s a great way to support the school and ensure your child is complying with the uniform manual.
Hot Lunch Days
There’s something exciting about a special lunch, and we care about fueling young minds. Hot lunches offer a great way to keep students nourished, energized and ready to take on every learning opportunity that comes their way. Fridays throughout the academic year are a lot of fun and PAX hot lunches will be available at all campuses, unless otherwise indicated.
Orders are submitted through Munchalunch (Please see below how to create a Munchalunch account)
Please note that all orders for hot lunch must be submitted by the Friday prior to the hot lunch date.
