► Bell schedule ► Regular days p1 8:40-10:05 ► PLC days (every 2nd Wednesday; see school calendar) p1 8:40-9:45 ► What's up with early-dismissal Wednesdays Every second Wednesday at 2pm our teachers gather in small teams called Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), where they investigate ways to improve student learning at our school. The gym, library, and Indigenous cultural space remain open and supervised at this time. This month, advocates from the KDFN are organizing handgames! We have organized our overall school schedule to ensure that students still receive the Yukon Education Act-mandated 950 hours of instruction per year. ► If your child will be absent from school, please contact [email protected] or 867.667.8665 |

Our curriculum focuses on academic skills (literacy, numeracy), personal skills (social, family life, physical fitness, employability), and experiential opportunities. Our students actively participate in the community, and many are integrated into other courses within the school. Our classroom space features a kitchen and accesss to technology. Entry to this program is by referral through the Shared Resource Program Committee. Most FLEX students attain an "Evergreen" School-Completion Certificate. For more information contact Nicole Muir. ► STEP program STEP is a shared-resource program for students with complex physical, speech, cognitive or sensory exceptionalities. We work with parents/guardians and Department of Education support staff to develop each student’s IEP and provide completely individualized programming in a largely self-contained setting. Students are integrated into the social life of the school and community as much as possible; academic integration may or may not be part of a student’s program. Entry to this program is by referral through the Shared Resource Program Committee. For more information contact Heather Tipton. ► Support for families ► School council ► Councillors ► Minutes ► Community partners |
