Message from the Chairperson:

22860000 22860000 (`@````````` 266 263 5 110185200 110185200 I feel very honoured to have been elected Chair of the Board of Education for the upcoming year.  I am fortunate to have been given an opportunity to work with a fine group of fair-minded, passionate and caring Trustees.  Our Board members are fully committed to working with our educational partners to help create learning conditions that will ultimately lead to the success of our students.

 

We are at the beginning of a technological evolution (or revolution?) the likes of which have never been seen before. I feel that it is extremely important that we as educators learn and understand new technologies and how to use them as tools to improve the personal education experience of each of our learners. We must ensure that when our students graduate they possess all of the necessary technological, social, emotional, problem solving and critical thinking skills that will help them to become successful in all aspects of their lives.

 

Success is imminent!  We have the ultimate partner recipe right here in School District 78.  Passionate, professional and devoted teachers and support staff; respected, engaged students; involved parents and families; supportive community partners; a hard working, open minded administrative leadership team, and a Board of Education who believes in all of you!  And of course, “Everyone Pulling Together” (“Mekw’wat i:xel”), the secret ingredient that makes it all work.

 

Ron Johnstone, Chair

Fraser-Cascade Board of Education.
