The W̱SÁNEĆ School Board is working closely with our W̱SÁNEĆ Nations and School District #63 to align our learning supports to address the potential learning loss created by COVID.

The W̱SÁNEĆ Afterschool Collaboration program has hired teaching staff, alongside a team of education assistants (EAs), to rotate through the four communities each week on specific days to support the well-established afterschool programs, and create a strong link to our W̱SB schools. This new teaching team will support each community’s afterschool facilitator with requested learning resources and a communication pathway to classroom teachers.

Please reach out to your community’s afterschool program to register your child/ren. Contact information can be found below. For more information on the overall program, please get in touch with Kendra Underwood (Program Partner) by email: kendra@saec.ca or by phone: (778) 426-7101 or Jessica Onespot-Whitney (Program Lead Instructor) by email: jessica@wsanec-online.comor by phone: (778) 426-1812.

The W̱SÁNEĆ  Collaborative Afterschool Program will provide tutoring support to assist with homework (grades K-12). Teachers and education assistants on-site.

Snacks and drinks will be provided. Fun games, activities & prizes!
