Teacher and Staff appreciation week is the time of the year where students as well as parents thank teachers and other school staff for their hard work and support. The Public Schools Branch also wants to thank our teachers and staff for their incredible efforts.

We thank our teachers and staff for everything they do each and every day to improve the lives of those entrusted in their care. We truly appreciate all the time and energy they devote to young people and their profession. Their efforts make the school experience more enjoyable and pleasant for students.

The work our teachers and staff do creating wonderful learning environments inspires students to be the best they can be.
