Foothills School Division is getting closer to seeing a new 10-12 High School built in Okotoks! In Budget 2024 we learned that we’ve been awarded the funding to get busy “designing”. Thank you to our incredible FSD School Community and to our MLAs & Municipal partners for your continued advocacy!

Thank you Foothills School Division for your kind letter of support for the Alberta School councils' Association!

Myth: Teachers can decide WHAT they teach their students.
#FSDFactFridays : Foothills School Division does NOT decide WHAT is taught in our schools. Teachers decide HOW the curriculum is taught in their classrooms; supported by exceptional FSD resources to help advance their curricular understanding

Myth: That all happened in the past/Reconciliation isn’t my responsibility. #FSDFactFridays Recognizing that 'Education is what got us into this mess” but is also the key to getting us out of it Foothills School Division has developed a toolkit with tools & strategies to create inclusive classrooms

Appreciated the opportunity to meet with RJ Sigurdson yesterday to share 2 of Foothills School Division’s top advocacy priorities for this year. 1. Our continued & urgent need for a new high school to serve Okotoks & Area
2. Sufficient transportation funding to address newly mandated walk limits.

And we’re off!! It was a pleasure to kick off the 2023-2024 School Year with all Foothills School Division staff today.
Can’t wait to see what this year has in store for us and am looking forward to working with this amazing team as we move our Division forward together. 🤝🤝🤝 #flourishingFSD
