Dear St’a7mes Families,

We hope you’ve been enjoying the sunshine this week! Please note that the school will be closed for the long weekend in observance of Good Friday (April 18) and Easter Monday (April 21). Classes will resume on Tuesday, April 22.

We’d also like to inform you that vision screening for all students will take place on May 12, 23, 26, and June 16. Additional information will be sent home by Public Health next week, including an opt out form, for families who prefer their child not participate.

Wishing you all a wonderful long weekend filled with rest, family, and friends.

Kind Regards,

Cory Hartling,

Principal

St’a7mes School

Student Learning Survey 2024/2025

The Provincial Student Learning Survey is unique in its scope, size and usefulness to schools. It gathers information from parents/guardians/caregivers, teachers, and students on topics related to school environment, safety, and achievement. The information is used for planning in individual schools and provides a district and provincial perspective.

Early in 2025 the Student Learning Survey will be administered to students in grades 4, 7, 10 and 11 their parents/guardians/caregivers, and all school staff. We encourage parents/guardians/caregivers to participate in this survey, as the results are important in identifying and celebrating current strengths, as well as determining where the school needs to focus improvement. The surveys contain standard questions for the Province – in addition, questions from the school and/or district that focus on local conditions or issues may be included.

The survey can be completed electronically and can be accessed on the Internet at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/support/student-learning-survey. Any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection can be used, and access to the e-survey is simple and secure. The survey can be accessed through the link and by clicking on Take the Survey. On the login page, click on the Parents icon, and then select the school district and school name where your child attends school. Provincial, District and School Reports for previous years can be viewed at the same site under the Results section.

 The e-survey site will be open until May 2, 2025.

 If you have any questions, please contact the school.
