What's Up Warriors?
FH Collins School Council Elections are Coming Up!
This spring, our school community will decide who will help shape and direct local education for the next two
years. We encourage parents and community members to consider this opportunity to contribute their ideas,
insights, and perspectives in decisions that directly impact the school. Having broad representation from the
community is important. Our school needs a variety of voices speaking and ears listening at the table – all
sharing a common interest in student learning and education.
Become a candidate:
Pick up a copy of the nomination package from the office or download it from ElectionsYukon.ca. To submit your
nomination, reach out to the returning officer for our school. The deadline for submitting your papers is noon
on Thursday, April 25.
Nomination forms should not be returned to the school office – we cannot accept them.
Eligibility to be a candidate or vote:
To be a candidate, you must be a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old, and either:
Be the parent or guardian of a student attending the school or
Have lived in the attendance area for at least three months.
Questions:
If you have questions about the role of a school council member, reach out to our school council’s chair or the
School Council Liaison, Lori Choquette (lori.choquette@yukon.ca). You can also refer to the Serving on a School
Council in Yukon resource guide developed by the Association of Yukon School Councils, Boards & Committees.
For information about the nomination process, contact the returning officer for our school or Elections Yukon
(schools@electionsyukon.ca / (867) 667-8683).

PLC Wednesdays
Why do my students finish early on PLC Wednesdays? (often called early dismissal by students) ~ First one on August 30th and every other Wednesday after.
Every other Wednesday, classes finish at 1:00 and our lunch period occurs until 1:45. From 1:45 – 3:10 our teachers gather in small teams of Professional Learning Communities, where they study and investigate ways to improve student learning for the actual students we have now. High-yield instructional strategies, types of common assessments, and areas of common concern are studied by our staff, with the goal of improving student learning. This is very different from the PD on PD days.
The Yukon Education Act mandates 950 hours of instruction each year, and we have organized our school day so that we meet this criteria, with this dismissal time.
The gym and library remain open and supervised for students, and students may also study quietly or do homework in some classrooms. In addition, KDFN is offering cultural drop-in time for any and all interested students. This month? Hand-games! Some students also participate in extra-curricular community activities during this time.
