Programs and Services

Library / learning resources The school library provides access to online resources such as OverDrive, World Book (a French/English reference resource), and GALE databases (including resources like Global Issues in Context and NoveList Plus) to support learning and homework. After-school child care The school shares that an after-school care program is available for families who have pre-registered. Student support / special education and wellness The district’s Student Support Services describe an inclusive model focused on supporting students in regular classrooms as much as possible, with adaptations/accommodations and small-group or individual support as needed. Supports may include Learning Services Teachers, Educational Assistants, school counsellors, Child and Youth Care Workers, and access (via school teams) to district services such as psychology, speech-language, hearing/vision, OT/PT, and homebound/outreach teaching. School counselling The school provides counselling services for students and families (including consultation, coordination, counselling, and crisis response); the Errington Elementary counsellor is available several days per week. First Nations Support The school’s First Nations’ Program aims to enrich educational opportunities and support heritage and belonging for First Nations learners. Errington Elementary has a Home-School Liaison Worker who supports classroom activities, cultural assignments, and the Grade 4 Social Studies First Nations component, and helps connect students with Aboriginal ancestry (Status, Non-Status, Métis, Inuit) to programs, services, educational supports, and tutoring. Athletics (district approach) The district states that extracurricular athletics are intended to foster inclusion, commitment, responsibility, leadership, and belonging, and that programs should consider the physical and emotional needs of developing children, including adaptations for students with special needs. (The sources do not list specific sports offered at Errington Elementary.)
