What can the name of a school tell us about the history of a community?

This summer, take a journey through Abbotsford's past by exploring the stories behind the names of our schools. From community builders and educators to Indigenous leaders and local landmarks, each school has a unique story that reflects the people, places and values that have helped shape Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford School District gathered to celebrate a remarkable group of retirees whose dedication, leadership, and care have helped shape our schools and community for years.

Hosted at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Centre, the annual Retirement Dinner honoured employees from across the district, including teachers, support staff, administrators, operations employees, and district leaders. Together, this year's retirees represent hundreds of years of service dedicated to supporting student success.

At the Abbotsford School District, we believe in celebrating the individuals who truly make a difference in our educational community. We are thrilled to announce that the Abbotsford News has published their annual edition honouring Abbotsford's Heroes in Education. These remarkable educators, selected through nominations from our community members, exemplify dedication and passion for nurturing the minds of our students. 

How students experience math matters. Across the Abbotsford School District, educators are helping students build confidence in numeracy through hands-on, collaborative, and engaging learning experiences.

Building on the BC curriculum, the district’s numeracy framework supports students in developing deeper understanding by encouraging them to think critically, communicate their reasoning, explore different strategies, and apply math to real-life situations.

Recently, the District’s Curriculum Department partnered with Melissa Epp, Máthxwi Education Co-ordinator, and the Indigenous Education Department to host a Máthxwi Family Literacy Night. The evening brought together Máthxwi families and staff from both the Abbotsford and Langley School Districts in a shared commitment to student learning.

Across the Abbotsford School District, educators are working together to ensure every student is supported and moving forward in their learning. One of the ways schools are doing this is through FACES on the Data, a collaborative process that keeps real students, not just numbers, at the centre of decision-making.
