2024-2025

This year we are going to focus on computational fluency with our students in math.  We will be looking at an assessment in September to see where our students are in their learning.  We will also be asking students how they feel about math and if they are confident when doing it.  Throughout the year we will be working with our District Math Consultant who will help guide us in helping our children develop stronger mathematical skills and confidence.

2023-2024

We are back to school now and making plans for the year.  Last year we worked on developing our reading skills and that will continue to be a focus this year.  All children will participate in a reading assessment so teachers know where they are at and what will need to be an area to concentrate on in order to become proficient readers. 

Throughout all that we do, we continue working with the students on developing Core Competencies and how these intertwine throughout learning and generally being with others in the world.  Again, children will be asked during the school year, what Core Competencies they are working on and what their next steps in learning will be.

      Building connections with our students always has and always will be an intentional behaviour that we know benefits childrens' well being and their access to learning. The reason we are here is for children and we want to meet their social and emotional needs the best we can so that they feel safe, connected, and happy. 

2022-2023

We continue to work on building connections at Byng knowing that the more connected a student feels to their community, the better they are able to learn.  We want our students to feel safe and cared for so that they can focus on their learning.  We are also focusing in on our students' reading proficiency and how we can help our learners become comfortable in their reading skills and able to understand and make meaning of what they are reading.
