Week of Feb 12 | SDP Learn & Share, Seeds Fundraiser, VM Open House


Learn and Share | School Planning 

We know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we’ll be sharing information about school planning and asking you to share your perspectives.

During this engagement, you will have the opportunity to:

1. Learn About

  • School planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget and school fees
  • How the school development plan sets the overall focus and direction for a school to improve student learning outcomes
  • How the school budget provides funding to implement our school development plan
  • School fees and why they are necessary

2. Participate

  • Participate in our virtual special parent meeting on February 12 (6:30 pm) to learn more about school planning. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback at this meeting.
  • Share your perspectives through an online survey open from February 14 to March 31. 
  • Watch this short video  to learn about the planning work schools do to improve and support student learning.

We’ll send you a link to the survey, our school development plan and school budget and fees information when it’s available. We will also post it on our school website.

West Coast Seeds Fundraiser

Wildwood School Council is excited to be participating in a West Coast Seeds fundraiser. West Coast Seeds, from BC, provide Canada No. 1 standard seeds that are untreated, non-GMO, and suitable for sustainable organic growing. Order over 700 varieties of vegetable, flower and herb seeds from the West Coast Seeds fundraising website. You will save on shipping costs as all of the seeds are sent to Wildwood School for delivery in early March.

With every order, 40% of the packet price is generously donated to Wildwood School Council. These funds contribute to visiting artist residencies like Decidedly Jazz Danceworks and Quickdraw Animation Society, supporting class Field Trips along with School Council Events like Kokomo Beach and Activity Day. All funds raised are used to support your child and their school!

OUR SEED FUNDRAISER STARTS ON FRIDAY JANUARY 12th AND RUNS UNTIL FRIDAY FEBRUARY 9th, 2024.
