Aspen Grove Public School and Parents as Partners in Learning
2020-2021 School Council and School Foundation - Annual General Meeting: Monday, September 21st @ 6:30pm. All parents welcome.
Aspen
Grove Public School views our parents as integral partners in the learning
process. We believe that, in order to achieve our mission statement, The Grande Prairie Public School District is a
learning community in which every student succeeds, we need to work
collaboratively with students, parents and community.
The
School Act states, “A board shall ensure that each student enrolled in a school
operated by a board is provided with a safe and caring environment that fosters
and maintains respectful and responsible behaviours.” Each year Alberta
Education surveys parents on areas such as providing a safe and caring school
environment. GPPSD scores well in this
area and we are currently at the highest result over the past six years.
If
you have a concern about your child’s education or something that happened at
school, it is best to address them quickly and in an appropriate manner.
Communicate your concern(s) calmly and clearly. It is always best to address
concerns with your child’s teachers first. See Working
Together to Resolve Differences
