Parent Resources

Our excellent, caring teachers and support staff work with parents to help each child make the most of their educational experience. We hope you find this information helpful. If you have any questions or suggestions on how this page could better meet your needs, please contact us at (780) 532-8133.

PWPSD Parent Assurance Surveys

This year, PWPSD conducted its first survey of our parents. The survey asked for input on items that are important in guiding the Division towards its priorities of ensuring high quality student learning, equity in education, and wellness.

Each spring, results from the Division Assurance Surveys, along with student achievement data, are used to update Division and School 3-Year Education Plans. These plans identify the priorities, outcomes, and strategies used to achieve our goals. The PWPSD Parent Assurance Surveys allows a greater level of engagement, targets the Division's three priority areas, and provides data that is used to assess progress and guide planning to support continuous improvement.

Awards for Teaching Excellence

PWPSD would not be what it is today without the hard work and dedication from its teachers. Parents, teacher-colleagues, principals, superintendents and all Albertans are encouraged to show appreciation by nominating an outstanding teacher or principal for an Award for Teaching Excellence.

Families that are unable to upload the requested scanned copy of their child's birth certificate must bring it to the school office. Other documents, such as proof of residency and custody information may also be required by the school office. If you are new to the system, where possible provide the school with transcripts or latest report card.

Through school councils, Albertans assume an advisory role in education matters ranging from academic programs to school policies and budgeting. For more information about PWPSD school councils visit our School Councils webpage.
