Thanks for landing on our School website. As Aldergrove's Principal, my hope is to positively engage with our staff, parents and students to keep Aldergrove the special school that it is! Through a very challenging 3 years, Aldergrove's staff have stayed committed to our core principles of developing resilient learners who can be positioned to be contributing members of society.
We value the opportunity to serve students in an inclusive setting as a way to embrace and welcome the diversity of learners in terms of culture, physical, emotional and cognitive capabilities. We prioritize committed citizenship using the Seven Sacred Teachings as our foundation. We encourage individual success of all our learners- whatever that may look like for them.
Along with a traditional Kindergarten to Grade 6 program, Aldergrove has two classrooms that honour the unique needs of students in the Behavior Learning Assistance Program. This diversity of programming shows our dedication to ensuring we are a safe home for a diverse group of learners. This includes our English language learners and those students who just need that extra bit of attention who are both developing their literacy and numeracy skills as well as those who have these skills mastered.
Professional Learning is the core of what our staff engages in to enhance the opportunities for your children. With this as a focus, three questions drive our work:
How do we know what we do makes a difference?
What do we need to adapt to ensure what we do is making a difference?
How do we build on the positive difference that we have made?
We seek to leverage community volunteers and partnerships to enhance our students both academically and socially. We could not do our important work without their help! We value our parents as partners in the work we do. We love seeing you work with your child’s teachers and School Administration to ensure the safest and most promising learning environment is maintained for your child.
I work with a dedicated School Council to explore ways we can continue to enhance the school experiences for our students. We welcome any new members at any time to join this team. In addition, if at any time parents have comments, ideas or concerns relative to Aldergrove School, I invite you to reach out and share this with me. I know that collectively, we can make the best decisions to support what’s best for our students.
Looking forward to a rewarding partnership!
