An Amazing Heartfelt Winter Celebration on Thursday!
Thank you to all the families who came out to celebrate students of Dr. Freda Miller School on Thursday. What an incredible show of support and how special to have so many members of your extended families attend. With our unique lineup of “mini concerts” we were able to seat over 1200 people over the course of the evening!
We are so proud of our students and staff! We applaud the creativity in designing learning and in showing ways of knowing. The art, singing, writing, speaking and staging made for a memorable evening. Bravo!

School Improvement Reporting Results, School Development Plan & Fee Report
· Our School Improvement Reporting Results and School Development Plan has been posted at this link.
· Alberta Education requires each school to create a plan to improve student learning. The School Development Plan aligns individual school goals with the identified goals in CBE Education Plan | 2021 - 2024. Each year, schools capture evidence of continuous improvement towards the goals set. In accordance with Alberta Education’s Requirements for School Authority Planning and Results Reporting, schools then provide assurance to school communities by communicating student growth and achievement in an annual report that demonstrates improvement results and next steps. These results support continuous improvement of the quality and effectiveness of education programs provided to students while also improving student learning and achievement (Funding Manual for School Authorities 2023-24 School Year p. 167).
· The School Development Plan outlines our Literacy, Numeracy and Well being for learning goals and strategies for the 2023-2024 school year. It is part of the same report, called Walk Forward | Individual Goals and can be found on page 11 of the report.
· The 2022-2023 Fee Report for Parents has been posted here.
