Dear Parents and Guardians of BRSD:
Subject: Holiday Letter to Parents and Guardians
As we approach the holiday season, together, let’s reflect on the achievements of 2024 and share our gratitude for the collaboration and support that defines Battle River School Division.
This notable year has been filled with remarkable success. Our recently unveiled 2024-27 Education Plan, guided by our vision: Every Student, Every Day, a Success, is already fostering growth and innovation. Our priorities—the foundation of our continual commitment—have been instrumental in achieving quality improvements in our learning, well-being, and in the creation of high-quality environments for students and staff.
Our Annual Education Results Report (AERR) revealed promising outcomes:
- 83.4% of stakeholders shared that they find our learning environments welcoming, caring, respectful, and safe, highlighting the supportive atmosphere in our schools.
- 86.8% of parents, teachers, and students expressed satisfaction with the overall quality of basic education, reflecting the dedication of our educators and support staff.
We are also proud of the diverse extracurricular opportunities available across BRSD, which have enriched students’ experiences beyond the classroom. From sports teams and leadership initiatives to music and drama programs, these activities continue to build community connection, resilience, and joy in our schools.
As we conclude 2024, please accept my heartfelt gratitude—our parents and guardians—for your unwavering support and trust. Your partnership is invaluable in helping us achieve our shared goal of making every day a success for our students.
May this holiday season bring peace, joy, and cherished moments to you and your loved ones. Please view our BRSD holiday greeting. I wish you a Happy New Year and look forward to welcoming our students back in January, refreshed and ready for another inspiring year of learning and growth.
Rhae-Ann Holoien
