As we start another school year, we are very pleased to
welcome all of our new and returning families. I hope you all enjoyed the hot
summer months and are looking forward to the start of school.
There is a lot to look forward to in the months ahead and many
ways for families to engage with their child’s learning. There is a strong connection between parent
and family engagement and student achievement and well-being, and I hope that
you will find opportunities to get involved.
In the coming year,
trustees will continue to focus on the priorities that we set out in our Multi-Year Plan: student achievement and well-being; the
delivery of effective and sustainable educational programs; and the responsible
stewardship of Board resources.
We know that
partnerships with parents and families are essential to achieving these goals.
However you choose to get involved, know that you are making a difference to
your child’s learning.
I wish you all the
best for the upcoming school year.
Carol Chan
