Dear Parents and Guardians of BRSD:

Subject: Welcome Back from Spring Break and Important Updates

I hope you and your family had a wonderful and refreshing Spring Break! As we return to school for the final stretch of the year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of Battle River School Division.

A special thank you to all who participated in our BRSD Stakeholder Engagement Survey. We are grateful to have received feedback from 3,529 participants! Your input is invaluable in shaping our schools and ensuring the best possible learning experiences for our students. A quick review of the results indicated that an impressive 82% of parents and guardians feel welcomed and included in their child's school community, highlighting the positive and supportive environment fostered by our schools. This reflects the strong connections between families and school staff, building a sense of belonging.

April brings two important celebrations:

  • Education Week: April 7 to 11
    This is a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible learning that takes place every day in our schools.
  • National Volunteer Week: April 27 to May 3
    We are incredibly grateful for the many volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to supporting
    our students and staff. Whether you help in the classroom, coach a team, assist with special events,
    or contribute in any other way, your efforts make a difference, and we truly appreciate you!

Additionally, we are sharing important information regarding measles to ensure the health and safety of our school communities. Linked here is a letter to school authorities regarding measles awareness and prevention. We encourage you to review this information and reach out to Alberta Health Services if you have any questions.

Thank you for being an essential part of BRSD. Together, we continue to create a positive and engaging environment where every student can succeed.

Sincerely,

Rhae-Ann Holoien
Superintendent of Schools
