We are developing district-wide understanding and capacity so that all our students are members of classrooms that are inclusive learning communities. We are becoming more able to grow the strengths and meet the needs of students in their classrooms with their peers. We will provide appropriate supports and interventions whether a student has a diagnosis connected to a special education category or not. We are creating learning environments that enable students to develop a sense of belonging and ensure they see themselves in the curriculum. We know the improvements we make for vulnerable students or students with different interests and talents will benefit all students.
Some examples of the work of our plan are:
- Fostering a growth mindset: all students can be successful
- Shifting from pull-out to push-in supports so learning happens with peers in the context of classroom learning
- Shifting from finding the right place for students to creating classroom communities for all students
- Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) school leads team
- Ease Everyday Anxiety Strategies for Educators (EASE) program K-12 and Mental Health Literacy (Gr 7-12) for the benefit of staff and students
- Training for staff and community in creating trauma-informed resilient classrooms: Circle of Courage

Keeping Kids Safe Online from Sexual Exploitation
Lac La Hache Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you to presenters Allison, Lara, and Tatyana from Children of the Street for delivering workshops on child and youth exploitation. These workshops were delivered in schools and also streamed for SD27's rural and remote students. Students from grades 6-12 got to partake in workshops that discussed online sexual exploitation and sextortion, warning signs of online luring and grooming, the impacts of intimate image sharing, digital citizenship and permanency, online safety tips, as well as safe adults and ways to reach out for help. Resources were shared with students and staff. Workshops were also offered to staff, parents & caregivers and service providers in collaboration with Denisiqi and the Child Development Centre. A big shout out to schools that hosted the presentations: 100 Mile Elementary (hosted grades 6 & 7 from Forest Grove, Lac La Hache, Mile 108, and Horse Lake), Peter Skene Ogden (hosted grades 8-12, staff, parents & caregivers), Columneetza (hosted grades 7-9 and grade 6s from Marie Sharpe, Nesika, and Cataline), and Lake City Secondary (hosted grades 10-12, parents and caregivers)!</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/bfa0f1a9-efb2-48b3-9af8-2eecf9c0f98e?fingerprint=ppb20260519171341" alt="Keeping Kids Safe Online from Sexual Exploitation" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/51c68cb5-3e47-4e48-a0bf-2169ab9aedf7?fingerprint=ppb20260519171341" alt="Keeping Kids Safe Online from Sexual Exploitation 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
