Today we celebrate the beginning of the Lunar New Year and welcome the Year of the Fire Horse. The Horse symbolizes energy, strength, determination, and a spirited pursuit of goals, while the element of Fire represents passion, creativity, and transformation. Together, the Year of the Fire Horse encourages confidence, resilience, and bold steps forward. We extend our warmest wishes to all students, families, staff, and community members celebrating. May the year ahead bring health, happiness, and success to all.

Please see a letter from the Superintendent regarding the tragedy in Tumbler Ridge. Our thoughts are with all those affected.

As part of our district-wide strategic planning work, we are inviting all staff to share their perspectives to help shape the future of Sea to Sky Schools. We are developing the district’s next strategic plan to guide our decisions and priorities from 2026 to 2031. We are currently in the Engaging & Listening phase, reflecting on what’s working, what’s changing, and what we need to strengthen to support students, families, and one another. We invite you to take a few moments to learn more about the Strategic Plan on the Sea to Sky School District Strategic Planning Process Public Engagement page. After reviewing the information, we encourage you to share your feedback by completing a short, open-ended, anonymous survey. As someone who works within our schools and district, your perspective is essential. The experiences and insights you bring will help shape the plan ahead. The survey will remain open until February 16, 2026.
