Our dedicated team of Teachers, Educational Assistants, Support Staff, Administration, and Board of Trustees continue to focus on improving student achievement, achieving positive and respectful learning and working environment, and developing community engagement and pride – our strategic priorities for providing the best possible education system for all of our students at Ministik School.
We continue to provide parents/guardians with the option of withdrawing student(s) for hunting or cultural breaks as they deem appropriate for their individual families. Please be sure to notify the school office if your child(ren) will not be at school. If/when a student is not attending school as a result of hunting and cultural breaks, s/he will not be marked absent. In consultation with the school Principal, Vice-Principal, Classroom Teacher and Parents/Guardians, homework or learning packages may be provided to the student for up to 3 school days, meeting the learning needs of the student during their absence from the classroom.
Parents/Guardians are valued partners in the education of our students. Thank you for your ongoing support.
