Message from the Chair and Director - Celebrating a Strong Start to the School Year

Last updated on

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed time with loved ones,  as well as the beautiful fall colours and weather. We’re fortunate to live in such a vibrant region, surrounded by natural beauty and strong communities. 

As we settle into the school year, we want to take a moment to thank staff, students and families for helping create a smooth and positive start. Your support, energy and commitment are deeply appreciated.  

The school year has begun with many meaningful events - curriculum nights and Terry Fox runs, and opportunities for families to explore secondary and post-secondary pathways. We’ve also seen events for First Nation, Inuit and Métis students and families and families of Black children, all of which help to foster a sense of belonging, community and support. 

Every day, we see incredible work happening to deepen student learning, spark curiosity, develop skills and build on successes. As we continue visiting schools and events across the district, we’re inspired by the pride and sense of community we see in classrooms, hallways and schoolyards. Thank you for all that you do to make our schools places where students feel safe, supported and celebrated.
