Flags at district facilities will be flown at half-mast starting Monday, April 28, until further notice to honour the victims of the tragedy at the Lapu Lapu festival in Vancouver on April 26, 2025.
Dear families,

It is often hard to know how to reassure our children when we ourselves are striving to process and make sense of these losses.

Moving forward, some schools may continue with this model, while others may transition to a semester schedule, with up to four classes per semester and two semesters in a school year.

Due to its Middle Years and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, Garibaldi must continue with a linear schedule. As a result, GSS staff, students, and families will complete a different survey focused on identifying the supports and structures that will continue to strengthen success within the existing model.
Student pop-up booths will take place during lunch hours at each secondary school to support participation. You can view the full timeline, including school dates, here: Download the Consultation Timeline
Translated versions of the survey questions and answers are available on the consultation web page (/secondary-scheduling-engagement/). These can be accessed using the built-in Google Translate feature in the top corner of the website.
Thank you for taking the time to share your input. Your feedback will help inform decisions that best support student learning and well-being.
