Ama Sah \/ Good Day,<\/p>\n

On behalf of Coast Mountains School District, I\u2019d like to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year!<\/p>\n

The start of a new school year is an exciting time for everyone involved in our education system, but in particular, for our learners. Heading back to school in September allows children and youth to reconnect with friends they may not have seen over the summer, as well as begin to forge relationships with both classmates and caring adults who may be new in their lives. In many cases, these relationships become the cornerstone for authentic and meaningful learning experiences over the course of the school year.<\/p>\n

As a school district, Coast Mountains will continue to focus this year on the priorities identified in the Board\u2019s Strategic Plan \u2013 Engage, Ignite, Empower. With overarching goals related to learning, organizational wellness and cultural diversity, district-wide actions in 2023-2024 will serve to improve outcomes for students as measured through multiple indicators including graduation rates, provincial assessment results and classroom evidence of learning. To be sure, staff members across the entire district will strive to create learning spaces that are safe, welcoming and inclusive so that all students feel a sense of belonging and experience success. To learn more about our school district\u2019s Strategic Plan, visit our website at\u00a0https:\/\/cmsd.bc.ca\/strategic-plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please take a moment to review the rest of this important communication which includes school start-up and bussing information for Hazelton, Kitwanga, Kitimat, Kitamaat Village, Stewart, Terrace, Thornhill and surrounding communities. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, do not hesitate to contact your child\u2019s school.<\/p>\n

Again, welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! We all look forward to seeing you in September.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nAaron Callaghan
\nSuperintendent of Schools
