We are more effective when we work collaboratively and seamlessly to support student needs. We are ALL responsible for working together for the success of ALL students. Improving communication and access to common information, establishing effective instructional and support teams, and focusing on wrapping around and strengthening the core relationship of teacher-student-families will improve student success.
We have developed a Framework for Collective Responsibility that will help guide the work we do from creating, implementing and monitoring School Plans for Learner Success, Local Education Agreements with First Nation communities, Individual Education Plans (IEP), and interventions by School-Based Teams (SBT). Common district assessments, with results made available in a timely and user-friendly format, support collaborative learning conversations by teams. Collective responsibility is a theme that emerges across all the other focus areas as we all do our parts toward common goals. Examples of this work include:
- Focus for the current year on walking together
- Collective Responsibility Framework
- New district data warehouse and information management system
- Strengthened school-based team (SBT) processes
- More opportunities for cross-school collaboration

Growing with Community Support: Exploring Life Cycles Through Chicken Eggs
Big Lake Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This Spring, Big lake students are engaged in hands-on learning experiences centered around life cycles. Most recently - chicken eggs! We are incredibly grateful to a local family who generously donated fertilized eggs, giving our students a unique opportunity to observe and learn about development from the very beginning stages of life. With the support of PAC funding, we were able to gather all the necessary supplies, including an incubator, thermometer, and materials to safely monitor and care for the eggs. This support has made it possible for students to engage in meaningful, real-world science learning right in our classroom.</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/0ae91ad2-f8f9-4517-bb8c-65f82611aaae?fingerprint=ppb20260519183225" alt="Growing with Community Support Exploring Life Cycles Through Chicken Eggs" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/1eb5f676-7c05-49ee-8ce7-f806ca2a7472?fingerprint=ppb20260519183223" alt="Growing with Community Support Exploring Life Cycles Through Chicken Eggs 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
