Programs and Services

Athletics and extracurricular sports Library The school library’s mission is to promote and support literacy and a love of reading, and to support information fluency so students can access, evaluate, and use information effectively and ethically. Students and families can access the online catalogue and district electronic learning resources. Student support / special education Student Services include counselling (social, emotional, and academic support), EAL support for students learning English, and programming for students identified as gifted learners. The school also offers Learning Support (literacy support for mild to moderate learning difficulties), a Learning Resource Program (adaptations/modifications to curriculum), and a Skill Development Program for low-incidence special needs, including IEP development and specialized programming. Technology The school’s technology goal is to build computer literacy; primary students may use iPads and intermediate students use laptops to support learning. Lunch program The PAC hosts a hot lunch roughly once per month (ordered through hotlunches.net). The district also offers an SD43 bagged lunch program, with information sent to parents monthly; families needing support are encouraged to contact the principal directly.
