As the school year draws to a close, Wolf Creek Public Schools is already preparing for the next school year, which will be Year 2 of the Division’s four year education plan.
For Year 2, our focus is narrowed to hone in on quality teaching, but interlaced with that is our strategies pertaining to our other two very important priorities as well — collective responsibility and supporting all students.
In Year 1, there was a focus on COVID-19 interventions, as the Division was successful in securing approximately $700,000 in additional support for grades one through three. Through supports and learning sessions, our Education Services department began working with schools and administrators for the lead up preparation to the new K-6 curriculum. And with an additional focus on assessment and reporting we began a process of reviewing such practices with a goal of achieving consistency and a common report card.
Through this school year, our educational quality held steady, ranking at 89.4 per cent. One area where we have seen a decline was in parental involvement, which fell to 74.3 per cent from just about 80 per cent the previous year. It is our hope that much of that can be placed at the feet of COVID-19 measures, and now that families and volunteers can return to our schools, we should see an improvement in engagement and involvement.
