Latest Update Regarding Our School Focus:

Reacting to the data and student voice

From the data pulled from the survey conducted last Spring, Staff recognized our students were telling us that they needed confidence-building strategies in order to feel that they could get through their challenges and work towards greater success.  As a staff, we decided that a focus or inquiry around developing a Growth Mindset (versus a fixed mindset), particularly in the area of Literacy, through the coming school year would be a supporting 'next step' in our school story journey.

We were grateful to be selected by District Learning Services to receive Collaboration Days this year.  We decided to use this time to focus on building literacy skills by promoting a growth mindset in our students.  Our Inquiry Question became: How does having a growth mindset support students in finding joy in writing?

See our Action post for ways in which we have sought to cultivate a growth mindset for our learners
