Student Learning Survey 2024/2025

The Provincial Student Learning Survey is unique in its scope, size and usefulness to schools. It gathers information from parents/guardians/caregivers, teachers, and students on topics related to school environment, safety, and achievement. The information is used for planning in individual schools and provides a district and provincial perspective.

Early in 2025 the Student Learning Survey will be administered to students in grades 4 - 7, their parents/guardians/caregivers, and all school staff. We encourage parents/guardians/caregivers to participate in this survey, as the results are important in identifying and celebrating current strengths, as well as determining where the school needs to focus improvement. The surveys contain standard questions for the Province – in addition, questions from the school and/or district that focus on local conditions or issues may be included.

The survey can be completed electronically and can be accessed on the Internet at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/support/student-learning-survey. Any computer or mobile device with an Internet connection can be used, and access to the e-survey is simple and secure. The survey can be accessed through the link and by clicking on Take the Survey. On the login page, click on the Parents icon, and then select the school district and school name where your child attends school.

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.
