Here we grow againThe City of Surrey and the Surrey

School District continue to be very popular.

As an estimated 1,000 new students enter Surrey schools this fall, the district has been working hard to complete building upgrades, as well as build space for the fast-growing student population, and some of those classrooms are ready for the new school year.

The Surrey School District continues to have the largest enrolment in B.C. with a projected 71,000-plus learners this fall.

A 10-classroom addition has been completed at Adams Road Elementary in the north Cloverdale neighbourhood, while Rosemary Heights and Morgan Elementary have new two- and four-classroom additions, respectively.

The construction of the much-

anticipated Salish Secondary is well underway in north Clayton near 184 Street and 72 Avenue. Expected to be completed by spring 2018, it will have a capacity of about 1,500 students and ease the pressure at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary and Clayton Heights Secondary schools which are both well over capacity.

The Surrey Schools facilities department was busy over the summer, doing approximately $7-million in work at various schools, including drainage and mechanical upgrades, re-roofing, re-flooring and parking lot repairs throughout the district. The exterior of 11 schools was also repainted, gym floors were refinished at seven schools and lighting and fire alarms were improved at 14.

The construction of Salish Secondary in north Clayton is ongoing, with an anticipated completion date of spring 2018.

Surrey Board of Education

Welcome to a new year in the Surrey School District, where success abounds

A message from Surrey Board of Education chairperson Shawn Wilson:

If you have been a student or parent in the Surrey School District for more than a few years, you’ll know our students consistently earn provincial and national awards, scholarships and recognitions in a great variety of endeavours – from academics and athletics, to fine arts, environmental initiatives and more.

For just a couple of examples, in the last school year, a Frank Hurt Secondary student was one of only 20 students nationally recognized for “outstanding youth leadership and service” by The Vimy Foundation.

At the elementary level, a Cedar Hills student was awarded an all-

expense paid trip to New York to compete internationally in a poetry slam contest after winning the regional competition here.

Districtwide, the proportion of Surrey School District students graduating within six years of starting secondary school – a Ministry of Education district performance measurement known as the “completion rate” – has risen yet again, continuing to outperform the provincial average (including private schools) by a considerable margin.

So, the success of our students continues to make them, their parents, their teachers and our board very proud.

And, your school district has also garnered some significant provincial

and national recognitions in the last year.

Surrey Schools has been named one of BC’s Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc. that uses a variety of criteria to evaluate submissions. The competition recognizes employers “that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.”

The district has also been named one of Canada’s Greenest Employers; an honour given to just 65 employers nationally.

There’s much to be proud of in learning and working in the Surrey School District. We all look forward to the accomplishments and successes of the 2016-17 school year.


Curriculum, exam changes continue to be phased in this year

The updated curriculum developed for K-12 education will continue to be phased in at Surrey schools in the 2016-17 school year, with changes to assessment and provincial exams also taking hold beginning this year.

Until now, the curriculum has been optional for teachers in kindergarten to Grade 9, but it will be the official curric-ulum in those grades starting September 2016.

The new Grade 10 to 12 curriculum will be optional for teachers in the 2016-17 school year and full implementation is scheduled for the 2017-18 school year. The draft curriculum can be viewed at https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/curricu-lum/10-12 and feedback can be submit-ted by emailing [email protected]

Why a new curriculum?As explained in a May 2016 letter to

parents from the education minister, the world has become much different since the original curriculum was developed. New technologies enable access to a wealth of information on virtually any topic. Today’s students need to learn skills to successfully locate, analyze and evaluate information, then apply it in a proper and useful way.

The emphasis now is more on under-standing concepts and processes, as well as a personalized learning experience and flexibility to better match individual student strengths and needs, as described in B.C.’s Education Plan.

Changes to assessment and provin-cial exams

Beginning in the 2016-17 school year, changes in curriculum, assessment and graduation requirements are being phased in for students in Grades 10 to 12.

The changes include discontinuing

the five current secondary school provincial exams and replacing them with two provincial exams that focus on literacy and math skills – the key subjects post-secondary institutions look to for admissions.

Provincial exams for Science 10, Social Studies 11, Language Arts 10 and Math 10 will no longer be used and will be replaced by classroom assessments.

There will be overlap between the previous grad program and the new one, and therefore a transition period to account for students progressing toward graduation under different scenarios. Students entering Grade 10 in the 2017-18 school year will be the first group where the new requirements apply entirely.

In the 2016-17 year only, there will be no changes to the Language Arts/English 12 provincial exams. They will run as scheduled, aligned with the prior curricu-lum, not the new one.

The provincial government has provid-ed a chart to help clarify requirements for students entering Grades 10 to 12 in the 2016-17 transition school year (see Figure A).

To graduate, students will still need to complete 80 credits and write two provincial exams. That hasn’t changed.

For younger students, standardized tests of reading, writing and numeracy (called Foundation Skills Assessment or FSAs) will still take place in Grades 4 and 7.

Where can I get more information?The Ministry of Education has a wealth

of plain-language information about the new curriculum on its Building Student Success website at https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/

Grade 10Students will:



• Follow most of the current Graduation Program requirements• Take a Math 10, a Language Arts 10 and Science 10 with classroom assessments instead of provincial exams• Meet Social Studies graduation requirements with classroom assessments• Write a provincial math skills exam and a provincial literacy exam before graduation

• Have completed a Math 10, a Language Arts 10 and Science 10 or equivalent and written with provincial exams• Meet Social Studies graduation requirements with classroom assessments instead of provincial exam• Write a provincial literacy exam before graduation• Not write the new provincial math skills exam

• Finish all the current Graduation Program requirements• Have completed a Math 10, a Language Arts 10, Science 10 and Social Studies 11 (or equivalent) and have written provincial exams.• Take Language Arts 12 (or equivalent) and write the associated provincial exam• Not write the new provincial literacy or provincial math skills exam• Students who have completed courses associated with discontinued exams by June 30, 2016 will have until June 2017 to write or re-write exams• Students who took summer school during July and August 2016 will not be required to write provincial exams in Math 10, Language Arts 10, Science 10 and Social Studies 11 (or equivalent)• Français langue premiére 12 and Françias langue seconde immersion 12 provincial exam changes will be the same as their equivalents above

Welcome back parents and students. We hope you enjoyed your summer vacation and it was full of adventure and fun!

With the school year now underway, hopefully parents and students are transitioning smoothly into routines. As parents, we fill up our calendars with work, programs and activities for our children and often are happy dropping them off and picking them up after school. Often, we do not have contact with the teachers/administrators unless we have a special need or problem we hear about and want it addressed in some way. Some parents are struggling to get their child into their neighbourhood school and some are balancing the rigours of double-shift schedules due to overcrowding.

How do we become more engaged, connected and involved in our schools and education system?

At schools, parents can be part of the PAC (Parent Advisory Council) executive or participate in activities which may require as little or as much involvement as one is willing to take part in. For example, volunteers may be involved with one or two events such as sports day or a track meet, or all events the school holds throughout the year.

PACs are about more than fundraising. They are, in fact, a valuable way for parents to share information between parents, teachers and administration. PACs are also an avenue

to openly discuss parents’ concerns and aspirations for their schools.

At the district level, Surrey DPAC (District 36 Parent Advisory Council) represents the interests of Surrey parents in the public education system. Surrey DPAC advocates for parental involvement and gives input into the development of education policy and curricula. DPAC directors sit on school district committees, such as French Immersion, Inter-A and Montessori.

The Surrey DPAC is about parents helping parents learn more about the education system and how they can contribute to it. All parents are welcome to attend DPAC general

meetings/ education forums held on the fourth Wednesday of every month at the District Education Centre (14033 92 Ave.) from 7-9 p.m.

At the provincial level, BCCPAC (B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils) represents DPACs, PACs and parents. BCCPAC advises and meets regularly with Ministry of Education staff and provincial education partners on behalf of parent resolutions. BCCPAC works to ensure parents have a voice in their children’s education, ensure the B.C. public education system remains focused on the needs of children and support parents as they navigate the education system and exercise their and their children’s rights in education.

If you would like to be involved at deeper level and advocate on educational issues, consider running for a position on DPAC or BCCPAC at their respective AGMs next spring.

If you would like DPAC assistance in getting more involved in your school or advocating on an issue, please contact us. We can be reached through our website, www.surreydpac.ca and/or on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/surreydpac, where you can also find information about upcoming events and numerous resources. To be further connected, please subscribe to our emailing list through either site.

Right to Play helps pave a healthy path to success

Right to Play has given $20,000 to the district in support of a new health-based after school pro-gram called PLAY which will run at Beaver Creek Elementary. Fifty vulnerable youth will be given the opportunity to learn about health, nutrition and physical activity in a no-cost, no barriers route to success. The PLAY program will give students a complete understanding of living a healthy lifestyle by encompassing both healthy eating and daily physical activity components in the programming.

Raven Supply provides emergency funds for vulnerable students

Raven Supply has generously continued their support at Frank Hurt Secondary, providing $5,500 for an emergency fund that can be accessed for vul-nerable youth in desperate situations. These funds have proved essential in many situations where students find themselves in need. Raven Supply also donated $1,000 to the after-school program BLAST at Bridgeview Elementary.

Youth employment skills get a boost from Coast Capital and RBC

RBC and Coast Capital are both supporting a major youth employment readiness program that Surrey is offering in six secondary schools. REACH (Recreation, Employment Readiness, After School, Citizenship, and Healthy Lifestyles) is a pro-social, sport and recreation skill development, leadership and employment readiness program for Grade 11 and 12 students to aid in preparing them for rec-reation and child/youth related jobs and careers. Students will also participate in work experience facilitated through the district’s Community-Schools Partnership department. Coast Capital provided $26,000, while RBC provided $15,000 for the program.

RBC support adds up to new math program

The RBC Foundation has granted $10,000 towards the Project Based Math Program (PBMP) that will be implemented by the Education Services department this year. The funds will allow the creation of mobile math project kits that will be used to support student numeracy. Each partici-pating hub will be equipped with four kits based in different areas of skill and interest: cooking, wood construction, fabric and textiles and three-dimen-sional art that will instruct on themes of geometry, trigonometry, surface area and volume, graphing and measurement.

Victims of crime benefit from federal contribution

The Canadian Department of Justice provided $5,680 to Safe Schools through the justice depart-ment’s Victims and Survivors of Crime Week 2016 initiative. The contribution supported the depart-ment in carrying out several student-, staff-, and parent/caregiver-directed events during the week of May 29-June 4, to raise awareness about the issues facing victims and survivors of crime and about the services, assistance and laws in place to help victims, survivors and their families. Parents and staff received specialty training and attended information sessions geared towards accessible resources, services and tools. Students participated in a “Day of Connection” that included various outdoor activities and discussions with WRAP staff – through which they were made aware of resources and services available to them.

Philanthropist helps sustain weekend food program

Dave Sidoo is a prominent Vancouver-based businessman who is passionately involved in philanthropy. Sidoo donated $10,000 towards the Weekend Food Program at one of our inner-city elementary schools. Through the Vancouver Adopt-A-School Program, Sidoo provided funding to sustain a year-long program supporting families with weekend food. Relate Church is also involved in the project, providing the volunteer support to sustain the day-to-day operations of the program.

Variety makes summer brighterFor the second consecutive year, Variety – The Children’s Charity, has provided a $100,000 grant to support Safe Schools’ SummerWRAP Program. The funds helped the district carry out weekly sport, recreation, leadership and art activities hosted at inner city schools, employment workshops/co-ops, overnight camp experiences, activities that build determination and positive future goals, mindfulness/calming techniques, address and support mental health challenges and provide a safe place for students to be during the summer break. About 150 students directly benefited from Variety’s contribution.

Guru Nanak Free Kitchen continues to support families in need

The Guru Nanak Free Kitchen (GNFK) raised and donated $2,850 towards the Weekend Food Program currently operating at one of our inner-city elementary schools. Through the Vancouver Adopt-A-School Program, Guru Nanak Free Kitchen has supported the program since its inception.

Having a BLAST, thanks to Solaris Management

For another consecutive year, Solaris Management Consultants is providing $2,000 to support the Forsyth Road Afterschool BLAST program for the 2016-17 school year. The funds will be used to cover program expenditures and ensure students receive enriched programming at no cost to families. Students who participate in the after-school program receive enriched learn-ing opportunities in nutrition, physical activity, arts, science and more.

Surrey Schools thanks…


13 donors, thousands in scholarships

Several donors supported the out-standing 2016 graduates across the district. In total, 13 donors helped in awarding 32 scholarships totaling of $59,750 – funds to be used to pursue post-secondary education.

Staples, Telus and RBC fill backpacks for kids

Telus Community Ambassadors’ Kits for Kids Program and Staples’ Stuff the Bus initiative have combined forces again this year to donate 500 backpacks filled with supplies for elementary and secondary students in Surrey. Staples and Telus purchase, sort, pack and deliver the backpacks to schools. RBC branches in Surrey also joined in the campaign this year, funding the purchase of an addition-al 100 backpacks and supplies. In total, 27 elementary and secondary schools received supplies this year valued at more than $40,000.

Tzu Chi Foundation makes camps possible for kids

The Tzu Chi Foundation con-tributed $20,000 to the district’s Community Schools Department to run D.R.E.A.M. spring break camps at 15 Surrey elementary schools. The camps, which ran over one week of spring break, provided sport, recreation, art, literacy and leadership development sessions at no cost to more than 500 students. Other community partners included: Aspire Dance Academy, BC Dairy Association, Bricks4Kidz, Vancouver Dodgeball League, Game Ready, Mad Science, Nelson, Rhythm Resource, Semiahmoo Floorball, Seung-ri Black Belt Academy, Smile Band, Sportball, Tennis XL, Urban Safari, Wayland Gymnastics and Yoga It Up.

Are you covered if your child is injured at school?

Your daughter had a tooth knocked out while playing hockey in gym class. Your son smashed his glasses on the playground at lunchtime. Your teen broke an ankle after tripping on stairs.

Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere at school. And while some may occur in places one might anticipate danger, such as shop class or the science lab, most often, school injuries involve nothing more than a student’s own feet.

“I would say the majority of incidents involve slips, trips and falls,” says Kelly Thomson, director of risk management with Surrey Schools. “The second most common incident involves running into something, often another student but sometimes a stationary object such as a wall, a door or a fence.”

In the past eight years, the number of student accidents reported in Surrey Schools has nearly doubled. During the 2007-08 school year, there were 975

incidents, compared to the 1,845 reported last year.

What parents and guardians may not know is that Surrey Schools insurance does not cover expenses for student injuries that happen on school grounds or during school activities. Parents are responsible for those costs, and provincial coverage (MSP) and group health plans often limit or don’t cover things like dental treatment, casts, physiotherapy or eyewear.

Optional student accident insurance is available through private companies and interested parents are encouraged to research which plan suits their family’s needs.

Surrey’s District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) and the Surrey School District provide the opportunity to voluntarily purchase accident insurance through the Kids Plus Accident Insurance program. The plan provides year-round coverage, whether children are in or out of

school, including coverage for costs not fully insured under MSP or group extended health insurance plans. Premiums start at $14.50 per year per student, with discounts available for families with three or more children.

$1,200 education grants availableStart planning and saving for your child’s post-

secondary education by applying for the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG).

The Government of B.C. will contribute $1,200 to children born in 2006 or later for future education or training programs.

To be eligible, the caregiver and child must be residents of B.C. and the child must be the beneficiary of a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) with a participating financial institution.

The earliest you can request the grant is when a child turns six. After that, an application can be made any time before the child’s ninth birthday.

Because the program is new, if a child has had their sixth birthday between 2013 and 2015, an extension will be granted until Aug. 14, 2018, or the day before their ninth birthday – whichever is later.

For more information about the BCTESG, participating institutions and how to apply, visit www.gov.bc.ca/bctesg

Cooking up culinary competence

More than 150 Surrey students cooked themselves up some tasty kitchen skills this summer.

The students, aged eight to 12, were part of a SuperChefs Cookery for Kids summer camp that provided six weeks of workshops and physical activities.

The workshops, offered in partnership with Surrey Schools, were held at Queen Elizabeth Secondary and Sullivan Heights Secondary.

SuperChefs is a non-profit society created by Dr. Greg Chang in an effort to curb the childhood obesity epidemic by encouraging children to learn healthy and tasty cooking skills.

Surrey-based Fresh St. Market donated ingredients to support the SuperChefs summer program, which was offered to Surrey students free of charge.

“Our students benefit in many ways from the SuperChefs Cookery for Kids summer camp, particularly children and families who are challenged to fund activities or trips over the summer break,” says Surrey Board of Education chairperson Shawn Wilson. “It’s been wonderful partnering with SuperChefs over the last six years to offer such a great learning experience for children that also happens to be so engaging and entertaining.”

Muskan Mahil, Saveena Rai and Mikayla Ritchie, who just started Grade 8 at Enver Creek Secondary, participated in the SuperChefs program during the summer.

NEEDS APPROVAL


$1,200 education grants availableStart planning and saving for your child’s post-

secondary education by applying for the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant (BCTESG).

The Government of B.C. will contribute $1,200 to children born in 2006 or later for future education or training programs.

To be eligible, the caregiver and child must be residents of B.C. and the child must be the beneficiary of a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) with a participating financial institution.

The earliest you can request the grant is when a child turns six. After that, an application can be made any time before the child’s ninth birthday.

Because the program is new, if a child has had their sixth birthday between 2013 and 2015, an extension will be granted until Aug. 14, 2018, or the day before their ninth birthday – whichever is later.

For more information about the BCTESG, participating institutions and how to apply, visit www.gov.bc.ca/bctesg

Health information for children starting kindergarten

So your child has entered kindergarten. Congratulations!

As the journey of fun and learning begins, there are some things parents should be aware of to ensure young ones and their classmates remain as healthy as possible.

The first is to ensure that if your child has a serious medical condition that could require emergency care or medication at school, you review the condition with the principal and teacher every year. A health plan should also be completed at school.

It’s also recommended that children over four years old get a booster immunization for diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and polio, as well as mumps, rubella and varicella. Immunizations are available at your local Public Health Unit.

Teaching children to wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 minutes is also a great habit to establish as it helps stop the spread of infection. It’s especially important before eating, after going to the bathroom, after playing with pets or after playing in playgrounds or in sandboxes.

Parents should also know head lice are common in school children. While not associated with serious disease or poor hygiene, lice can easily spread. The tiny wingless insects live on the human scalp and spread through the sharing of hats, combs and

brushes or through direct head-to-head contact. It’s recommended parents check their child’s head regularly and if lice are detected, the school be contacted immediately. Confidentiality will be maintained and a letter will be sent home to your child’s classmates to remind other parents to check.

Finally, give your kids a head start through healthy eating. Children who eat breakfast are more alert at school and may have a healthier weight. Offer

food from the four food groups for breakfast and lunch, as well as nutritious snacks between meals and after school. Check healthyfamiliesbc.ca and bettertogetherbc.ca for more information.

School safety alert system

Surrey Schools has a school safety alert system that helps keep students, staff and volunteers safe during an actual or potential threat to safety.

School administrators are authorized to activate a safety alert and drills take place at schools regularly to ensure everyone knows the safety rules and how to follow them.

The alert system uses speci fic terms and actions for various situations.

A LOCKDOWN is used in situations where there is a safety risk from an intruder on the school grounds or in the building.

A LOCKOUT is used where there is concern about an individual in the neighbourhood who could enter the school grounds or building.

ALL CLEAR is announced over the school’s PA system when there is no longer a threat to the safety of students, staff and volunteers
