École Frank Ross Elementary

Have you considered French Immersion? This is a wonderful opportunity available to any child in the Dawson Creek/Rural area.

Safer Schools Together is offering a 60 minute workshop that covers all things digital, from how to be a good digital citizen, the criminal consequences of cyberbullying, and how to report and receive support in cases of sexting/sextortion.

The workshop is recommended for Parents/Caregivers/Grandparents and youth aged 10 and up as a way to facilitate the conversation of safe and caring use of technology at home and in the community.

Families will learn:

  • Digital media habits, oversharing, and digital addiction
  • The permanence of online posts/activity
  • The significance of your digital tattoo in how others perceive you (e.g., sports teams, college admissions, and potential employers)
  • The importance of caring for peers both online and offline
  • Geo-locational settings and the dangers of social media and cell phone misuse
  • The social and legal consequences of cyberbullying behaviour as well as possession and distribution of intimate images (sexting and sextortion)
  • An anonymous student reporting tool that can help you and your friends stay safe both online and offline

Register online at Safer School Together for one of the following workshop dates:

  • February 4 or 26
  • March 12
  • April 8
  • May 7

These sessions were designed to support families and caregivers in navigating the digital world.

Rik Leaf is returned to Ecole Frank Ross and worked with our French Immersion students the week of Dec. 2-6. For over 25 years, Rik has led Creative Development Mentorship Projects in schools and Indigenous communities across Canada, where he engages every student and teacher in writing, performing, and recording an original song celebrating community creativity. Rik is returning with his partner MJ Dandeneau this time. Marie-Josée is Métis of French and Anishinaabe descent from the Red River Nation. Her mother comes from the Red River Valley (Ile de la Cross Nation) and her father comes from Penetanguishene, Treaty 61. She is an internationally renowned bassist, director and producer who has toured with Buffy Saint Marie, Xavier Rudd, Ben Harper and a ton of artists. She's a powerful role model for French and Indigenous students.

 Thanks to the support of Canadian Parents for French (CPF) for making this opportunity possible; our students will get to showcase their creativity, celebrate their French learning and who they are as part of our community.
