Non-Instructional Days - Friday April 15 and Monday April 18

British Columbia’s curriculum for K-12 is being redesigned to respond to the demanding world our students are entering.  Transformation in curriculum will help teachers create learning environments that are both engaging and personalized for students. At the heart of British Columbia’s redesigned curriculum are core competencies, essential learning and literacy and numeracy foundations. This work has been years in the making with teachers, administrators and the Ministry of Education involved in its development and rollout and implementation of the new curriculum is underway.

 

Friday April 15th is the second day this year that has been designated for curriculum implementation time. This time has been set aside to provide for teachers to continue to familiarize themselves with the new curriculum and to plan for its full implementation in the coming years. This will enable our teachers to serve children better for the transition to the new curriculum. Schools will not be in session for students on Friday April 15th.

More details on the new curriculum can be found at: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/home

 

Monday April 18th is also a regular district wide professional day. School will be back in session on Tuesday April 19th.
