Announcements

Dear parent/guardian,

MyClass (MyEducation BC) parent/guardian accounts will be reactivated by 4 p.m. on Monday, September 14, 2026.

If you already have a MyClass account, you can log in using your existing ID and password. If your password has expired, you will be prompted to create a new one. If you don’t remember your username/login ID or password, follow these steps:

Click the “Trouble logging in?” link on the login screen to recover your username or password.

• To retrieve your login ID, enter the primary email address you provided during your child’s initial school registration. Please note: This may be different from the email you currently use to log in to the Parent Portal.
• To reset your password, enter your login ID.

If you are a parent new to the district, your login details will be emailed to you by 4 p.m. on September 14, 2026. The information will be sent to the primary email address you provided to the school during registration. 

Parents/guardians can use MyClass to view their child’s classes, assignments, attendance, report cards, transcripts, and more. Learn how to navigate the interface in the Parent Brochure on the district website, which has a page translate option in the top right menu.

Reminder: Passwords for all MyClass accounts automatically expire after 90 days, unless your account is linked to your BC Services Card. This is the only way to avoid having your password reset every 90 days. Resources to help you link your MyClass account to your BC Services Card are available here: https://myedbc.sd42.ca/myclass/#tab-10913

As we begin a new school year, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our students, families, and staff.

There is no question that we are living in a time of significant change. Around the world, communities are navigating uncertainty and facing complex challenges. Yet each September offers a powerful reminder that there is also great reason for optimism.

Our schools are places of hope.

Every day, students walk through our doors carrying their dreams, talents, questions, and potential. Public education exists to help young people grow into confident, capable, and caring members of our communities. Together, families and educators share the important responsibility of supporting that journey.

In our district, we remain committed to providing learning environments where every student feels safe, valued, included, and supported to reach their potential.

Our work begins with a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy. These skills remain essential for success in learning and life. However, preparing students for the future also requires us to help them develop the competencies needed to navigate an increasingly complex world.

British Columbia’s curriculum emphasizes critical and creative thinking, communication and collaboration, and personal and social responsibility. These competencies help students become thoughtful learners, effective problem-solvers, compassionate citizens, and engaged members of their communities. They empower young people to adapt, contribute, and thrive in a future that continues to evolve in ways we cannot always predict.

Most importantly, we know that learning flourishes when students feel connected and supported. The relationships built between students, families, and staff create the conditions for success and help ensure every learner experiences a sense of belonging.

As we begin this new school year, I encourage all of us to embrace the hope and possibility that education represents. Together, we have the opportunity to inspire learning, nurture belonging, and support the success of every child.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. We look forward to welcoming students back and embarking on another year of learning and growth together.

Teresa Downs
Superintendent of Schools

As another school year comes to a close for most of our schools, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our families for your partnership and support throughout the year.

Together, we have celebrated achievements, supported learning, navigated challenges, and created opportunities for students to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and personally. The success of our schools is strengthened by the strong relationships that exist between families, schools, and the broader community, and we are grateful for the trust you place in us each day. Some of the achievements of this past year are captured in our annual District Highlights magazine, which shares just a few of the inspiring stories from across our schools. I invite you to take a look: bit.ly/4eVZik1. (more…)
