School Information

There are usually no "snow days" at our school.  Should the temperature reach a low of -40 degrees, the FVSD's Transportation Department will cancel bus service within the Division but schools remain open.

There are multiple supports put in place to meet your child's specialized needs.  Supports within the classroom start with tailoring reading and language instruction to your child's learning level.  When more specialized needs are identified, Individual Student Plans (IPPs) are developed by teachers, the Inclusive Education Coordinator and administrators in close collaboration with parents to meet these unique needs.  Additional supports are offered by teacher assistants, our Student Wellness Coordinator as well as a speech and language pathologist.  Further, students have a resident Academic Counsellor and access to a regional educational psychologist. 

Within the school there are a variety of programs that are available to your child.  Enrichment within the classroom is provided.

Extra-curricular activities will be offered based on students needs and interest.
