September 30, 2024 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30. The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

Communicating Student Learning

Throughout the year, we use SpacesEDU to continuously communicate with families about your child’s learning journey. Teachers invite families (by email) to join their child’s digital ‘class’. When families join, they can view, comment, and encourage their child’s efforts and achievements. In addition to celebrating learning all year long, families can also view the end-of-year Summary of Learning posted in late June.

Please use the links in the poster below to learn how to get started and navigate SpacesEDU and contact us if you have any questions.
