BRSD Announces 2024-2027 Education Plan for a Successful Start to the 2024-2025 School Year

Battle River School Division (BRSD) is excited to announce the launch of its 2024-27 Education Plan, coinciding with the start of the 2024-25 school year. BRSD has constructed this comprehensive plan which encompasses its core priorities: Learning Success for All, Enhancing High Quality Learning and Working Environments, and Well-Being. BRSD’s vision, Every Student, Every Day, a Success, embodies collective work being done throughout the division and in the Education Plan. 

Key Focus Areas of the 2024-27 Education Plan:

1. Learning Success for All: Ensuring that every student receives adequate support and resources to thrive while continuing to build a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy
2. Enhance High Quality Learning and Working Environments: Building a positive school culture and fostering a collaborative, supportive environment for students and staff
3. Well-Being: Promoting inclusive environments and prioritizing the mental and physical health
   of all students and staff

"We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every student can thrive," said Rhae-Ann Holoien, superintendent of schools. "Our new Education Plan is designed to ensure that every student, every day, is successful."

The recent assurance survey revealed that 87 per cent of respondents believe students are safe at school, are learning the importance of caring for others, are learning respect for others and are treated fairly. This is a significant affirmation of BRSD’s ongoing efforts to create a nurturing and respectful environment for all students, and one that its leadership takes pride in.

“These results reflect the positive impact of our dedicated staff and the strong sense of community within our schools,” said Holoien. “We are committed to maintaining and enhancing these results to ensure that every student feels valued in a supportive learning environment.”

Please review BRSD’s 2024-27 Education Plan media release for more information.

We are in the process of developing an administrative procedure about cell phone use in classrooms to align with the Minister’s June 2024 announcement. More information will be shared through BRSD schools when school begins.

BRSD is excited to welcome staff to the 2024-25 school year for its first non-instructional planning day for teachers on Monday, August 26. Leading up to the following week, staff will be anticipating the arrival of students filled with a mix of nerves and excitement as they head back into the classrooms.

Students will return to school after the long weekend on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, and welcoming staff will be eager to greet them, and then guide and inspire them as they take on this journey of learning and growing together.
