MISSION STATEMENTA community school creates a new alliance between the school and its community. Community schools use community resources – volunteer groups, parents, public services and the private sector to turn a school into a community centre of learning. SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGEStudent learning is the most important feature of all our staffs’ work. Teachers and administrators, through collaboration with students, parents and the community, strive to ensure that students are successful learners. MINISTER OF EDUCATION MESSAGEWhat kind of world will our children walk into in the year 2020? What will they need to know? What will they need to experience? How will they need to think, to see the world, if they are to succeed? That global world that awaits our children will actually need a stronger sense of community than ever before. We’re not training employees – we are teaching citizens, parents and leaders. That means we need to make our children feel anchored in a community where their actions touch the lives of others, where we give them a sense of our history, culture, languages and values – and a sense of belonging here at home.
