Quotes from Parent Advocates

“Elbow Valley is an outstanding school. The teachers are extremely caring and actively try to do what’s best for students. My children feel welcomed and a part of an inclusive community.”

“Very positive environment that encourages learning.”

How do we define success for Elbow Valley students?

Our students will have achieved success when they exhibit a desire to learn and are engaged in the process of acquiring skills and knowledge. They will be self motivated and reflective of their progress. They also are willing to take risks and challenge themselves in reaching their potential. Our students will be active participants, sharing their learning and collaborating with peers. They will exhibit academic vigour, caring for others and the environment, and increasing self-responsibility for life-long character traits.

What makes our school good and how do we know?

Our school is great and we know from the feedback that we receive from School Council, our parent community, our students, and our assessment results.

1. School Council - We have an active school council that is supportive of our initiatives, policies, and procedures.
2. Parent Community - In a recent school satisfaction survey, our parents responded very positively about a broad range of school topics.
3. Students - Our students engage in a variety of citizenship activities throughout the year. There are numerous incidents of acts of kindness, respect, compassion, and academic vigour exhibited by our students.
4. Assessment results - Our students excel in both the language arts and mathematics assessments as evidenced by the Grade Three Provincial Achievement results.
