December 2024

Good Morning Bakerview Families,
We cannot believe it is already December. Bakerview has it's very own Elf on the Shelf this year who brings prizes for students who spot the elf in his new spot each day.  The Elf also brought a special gift for every Bakerview student, a new pair of jogging pants. Students will receive their gift during the week of Dec 9!

Personalized Learning at Abbotsford Virtual School

Abbotsford Virtual School (AVS) is a Provincial Online School that serves school-aged and adult students from across the province, catering to those who thrive in a digital learning environment. We offer a flexible curriculum that allows kindergarten through grade 12 students to engage in their studies at their own pace, making it an ideal option for those needing a flexible, non-traditional schooling experience.  We have three main groups of students at AVS: fully enrolled learners, adult learners and cross-enrolled learners.

We provide students with an alternative academic educational experience where social, emotional, and physical well-being are seen as critical for success—more on that later.

Community and Identity: The Role of Indigenous Perspectives in English Education

Integrating Indigenous perspectives, histories, and knowledge systems into our classrooms is a transformative journey that goes beyond curriculum enhancement. By incorporating Indigenous perspectives across all subjects, we not only honour the rich heritage of Indigenous communities but also nurture a more inclusive and interconnected learning environment for all students.

Using Culinary Skills at ATS to Serve Her Community

The grade 12 Capstone projects are well underway at Abbotsford Traditional School. These learning opportunities focus on real-life experiences where students develop skills for future post-secondary education and employment pursuits. Projects are student created and reflect individual talents and interests. They can take the shape of small businesses, community fundraisers, coaching, or volunteer programs.
