School and Community Engagement
School and Community Engagement
School and community input guides system direction and strengthens programs, ensuring ongoing progress and student well-being.
We have the opportunity to work with the following groups:
Representatives meet with Senior Executive and Trustees to consult on various topics through the year.
The Wellness Committee representatives include teachers, support staff, and Division Office staff. The committee's objective is to co-construct a culture where all employees enjoy and contribute to a welcoming, caring, respectful, and safe work environment.
The Elders Council meets approximately every 6 weeks with the Board Chair and Superintendent to provide guidance on various curriculum and event decisions.
School Council reps meet with Trustees five to six times a year, to share dialogue they have had with parents on various topics as well as discuss questions from the Trustees.
Parents/Guardians complete various surveys and ThoughtExchanges throughout the year on various topics. They also have opportunities to share their thoughts through conversations with Principals and committees such as the School Council and the We Belong Advocacy Committee.
Schools engage with families through school councils which provide opportunities for dialogue around school operations, school plans and budget, as well as ongoing dialogue regarding student growth and achievement.
The SAC meets three times each year for the opportunity to interact with the Trustees to share their ideas and persepctives.
These conversations bring together representative teachers from across the Division which helps to inform next steps in support of student learning.
In 2025-2026, we increased engagement in theAlberta Education Assurance Survey by 124%! Over 18,000 of parents engaged in surveys this year. We held 4 social media learning sessions attended by over 90 parents.
This group of teachers, support staff and Division office staff work together to provide feedback on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) topics. They helped develop the strategic plan and provide feedback on various topics from implementation to policy related to DEI.
