We are developing district-wide understanding and capacity so that all our students are members of classrooms that are inclusive learning communities. We are becoming more able to grow the strengths and meet the needs of students in their classrooms with their peers. We will provide appropriate supports and interventions whether a student has a diagnosis connected to a special education category or not. We are creating learning environments that enable students to develop a sense of belonging and ensure they see themselves in the curriculum. We know the improvements we make for vulnerable students or students with different interests and talents will benefit all students. 

Some examples of the work of our plan are: 

  • Fostering a growth mindset: all students can be successful
  • Shifting from pull-out to push-in supports so learning happens with peers in the context of classroom learning
  • Shifting from finding the right place for students to creating classroom communities for all students
  • Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) school leads team 
  • Ease Everyday Anxiety Strategies for Educators (EASE) program K-12 and Mental Health Literacy (Gr 7-12) for the benefit of staff and students
  • Training for staff and community in creating trauma-informed resilient classrooms: Circle of Courage

Connection and Remembrance

Big Lake Elementary

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">For Remembrance Day, Big Lake students created artwork featuring their hands holding a poppy alongside the message “Peace is in Our Hands.” This project invited them to contribute to a shared display that honors all who served, including Indigenous veterans whose sacrifices are an important part of our history. By weaving their individual efforts into a collective expression of respect and hope, students reflected on the diverse contributions that have shaped our freedoms.</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Each student’s unique design represented personal responsibility and choice, reinforcing the idea that peace begins with individual action. Together, these pieces formed a powerful reminder that unity, gratitude, and personal commitment can shape a more peaceful future.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/205940d6-b2ff-4d4b-9dc6-688da3282146" alt="BL Nov.

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Today educators in a variety of roles and responsibilities within the school setting came together to train or re-train on non-violent crisis intervention strategies with district principal Kristina Beaulne. The verbal and non-verbal behaviours, actions and strategies that educators use can have a profound de-escalating effect with youth and with grown-ups in our learning communities. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this learning round today.</span></p><table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/b92c04fb-4915-4e59-bd6c-12396a44229e" alt="Non violent Crisis Intervention Training1 holly zurak" 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="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/43f81bc7-7a97-49b2-8814-9de760f68238" alt="Non violent Crisis Intervention Training2 holly zurak" 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>

Big Lake - Sense of Belonging

Big Lake Elementary

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At Big Lake Elementary School, fostering a sense of belonging at the start of the school year is a top priority. We welcome each student, staff member, and family with warmth and intention, creating an environment where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected. Through inclusive practices, community-building activities, and a focus on relationships, we ensure that every member of our school feels they are an important part of the Big Lake community. This strong foundation of belonging supports student success, well-being, and a joyful learning experience throughout the year.</span></p><table class="editor-table"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/cf39b9c0-b805-4d34-a1b4-bab7afea73f2" alt="BL Sense of Belonging 2 Sari Small" 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="width: 350px; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245); border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top;"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/445e96ad-9c2f-4a95-b5cb-2b4c1f8fff15" alt="BL Sense of Belonging Sari Small" 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>
