We are more effective when we work collaboratively and seamlessly to support student needs. We are ALL responsible for working together for the success of ALL students. Improving communication and access to common information, establishing effective instructional and support teams, and focusing on wrapping around and strengthening the core relationship of teacher-student-families will improve student success. 


We have developed a Framework for Collective Responsibility that will help guide the work we do from creating, implementing and monitoring School Plans for Learner Success, Local Education Agreements with First Nation communities, Individual Education Plans (IEP), and interventions by School-Based Teams (SBT). Common district assessments, with results made available in a timely and user-friendly format, support collaborative learning conversations by teams. Collective responsibility is a theme that emerges across all the other focus areas as we all do our parts toward common goals. Examples of this work include:

  • Focus for the current year on walking together
  • Collective Responsibility Framework
  • New district data warehouse and information management system 
  • Strengthened school-based team (SBT) processes
  • More opportunities for cross-school collaboration

Explore the ways we are LEARNING BETTER TOGETHER for the success of ALL learners in Cariboo-Chilcotin School District:

GR 8 Welcome at PSO!

Peter Skene Ogden Secondary

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Gr 8 students and their families were hosted at PSO the week before school started. PSO staff were so excited to welcome new grade 8 students and their families. Students engaged in cooperative games to meet their new peers, toured the school with their families, and enjoyed a BBQ lunch. Gr 7 principals and teachers were on hand to assist with transitions. We hope this helped start our new PSO students in a good way!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/fe1a0c38-0a13-41f6-acae-7df5edc32c80" alt="471b" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">School District 27 PVP proudly congratulate Denisiqi Services Society on receiving a BC Principals' &amp; Vice-Principals' Association (BCPVPA) Partnership Award. This honour recognizes their commitment to collective responsibility—working alongside schools, families, and communities to support the success and well-being of every student.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Denisiqi exemplifies what it means to put students at the center of learning.

Denisiqi’s collaboration with schools across the district is a wonderful example of how collective responsibility creates a stronger, more inclusive educational community.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Congratulations to Denisiqi Services Society on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for your transformative impact on the lives of students and families in our district.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/3922e277-c925-5631-b076-e480444b4743" alt="5sdzmm4c.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Board Office staff take great pride decorating the main entrance and lower hallway for the students of Marie Sharpe and Skyline to trick-or-treat. This years theme was Minions! With Superintendent Lenardon’ s direction of reduce and recycle for decorating, we were successful, with many staff sharing their Halloween decorations - even shredded paper was put to use. It was so much fun to see the 200+ costumes and smiles, especially when they received a sticker, mini candy, marshmallow bananas, and a full sized banana - to fit the theme!! Yes we fit fruit into the Halloween fun. Ba-na-na!</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/8570b878-661a-579d-95c8-feda47882892" alt="2yhgyynn.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/0029f579-070b-5a62-aaa5-b3b98e8f31e9" alt="cff5sbz6.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

Kindies, Cupcakes, and Collaboration

100 Mile Elementary

Peter Skene Ogden Secondary

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A collaboration between kindergarten and grade 12 students exemplifies collective responsibility by fostering a shared commitment to the educational growth of all participants. Mrs. Varney and Mr. Kline provided this opportunity through an afternoon of making cupcakes, where older students mentored younger ones, promoting accountability and leadership skills. This joint activity encouraged collaboration, allowing students to learn from each other’s diverse perspectives. The interaction not only enhanced social and emotional development but also created a rich environment for exchanging knowledge and experiences. Ultimately, this approach emphasizes that the success of one student is interconnected with the success of all, highlighting the importance of community in education.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e1864ffa-3856-58f7-bc36-17f0d32e867b" alt="civf3co7.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e164b95f-aeaf-5677-89f8-5c50a249c17e" alt="08i4rusc.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Many SD27 staff participated in 3 separate sessions focusing on resilience with an emphasis on understanding how trauma impacts children and their school experience through the Circle of Courage model. Participants gained proactive strategies such as fostering connections, prioritizing social and emotional skills, establishing safety, and promoting play and learned the “how” in creating the best classroom and school supports for traumatized students and the school professionals who serve them. Participants learned how to assess students, create support plans, utilize strategies to collaborate with families and communities and collect and utilize outcome data.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/c8b9695f-4b15-52a8-9091-8ce5c9fad931" alt="26whtpy9.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/95c23bd1-05a6-5f50-b2c5-b84133308fe5" alt="ti27bmom.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The District worked with Softlanding to complete a design solution for collecting and presenting information to staff. The District now has a fully automated data warehouse that collects and creates displays of historical information on all key metrics in the district plan and utilized by our staff. The warehouse is connected to online reports created with PowerBI. Access to high quality information will increase knowledge we have about students and will also reduce manual data tasks allowing time to be spent on higher value tasks.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/2781693c-fd35-5823-a29c-ae1ff23ad234" alt="694s6d6g.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

We were welcomed to the traditional and unceded territories the school district is on by Williams Lake First Nation Chief Sellars, Xeni Gwet’in Chief William, and Ulkatcho Chief Price who shared what they wanted staff to know as we began serving their children and families in this school year. Monique Gray Smith was the keynote speaker for the morning and emphasized Indigenous traditional knowledge and values, relationship with others and nature, and trauma-informed practice. Teams had time to talk during the morning and had lunch together (many outside for BBQs and picnics) before spending the afternoon preparing to bring the key themes to life in their schools and departments over the first days and weeks of the new year.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><img src="/images/a60b7623-9b7f-5c15-bf53-02dd40480d0e" alt="r237l0es.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">World Teachers’ Day is held internationally on October 5 to celebrate the work of teachers. In Cariboo-Chilcotin School District we recognize that the core relationship of education is between the teacher- student- caregivers. We also recognize that teachers have incredible support here from all the staff, especially at the school level, who wrap around and support that relationship and the work of teaching and learning. We extend a big THANK YOU to teachers and the colleagues who make their work possible and hope they enjoy these BC apples from Desert Hills.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/1b97287d-179a-504e-840e-256ba0188d3a" alt="s2bep6wb.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>
