Welcome Back! A Message from the Board of Education
Welcome to the 2024/25 School Year!
As we approach the start of the new school year on September 3rd, the Abbotsford School District is excited to welcome over 20,000 students and nearly 3,000 dedicated staff members back to our schools.
This year, we are proud to launch our 2024-2028 Strategic Plan, which serves as the guiding framework for our district over the next four years. Developed in partnership with our community and stakeholders, this plan is anchored by four key pillars: Student Success, Optimized Resources, Engaging Opportunities, and a Progressive Workforce. These pillars ensure that every decision we make is aligned with our vision of a world-class, innovative, and individualized educational experience for every student.
To our dedicated educators, support staff, and district employees, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your creativity, commitment, and perseverance are what make our schools vibrant and dynamic places of learning. Your efforts inspire our students to embrace challenges, discover their passions, and become compassionate leaders in their communities.
To our students, this year is a fresh start, brimming with opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. Every challenge you encounter and every lesson you learn will help shape who you are and who you will become. We encourage you to seize these opportunities with enthusiasm and curiosity.
To parents and guardians, your role as partners in education is more vital than ever. The support and encouragement you provide at home are integral to your children’s success in school. We are grateful for your continued trust and collaboration as we work together to provide the best possible education for your children.
The Abbotsford Board of Education is eagerly anticipating the year ahead. Our schools are more than just educational institutions; they are thriving communities where curiosity is fostered, friendships are built, and dreams are realized.
We warmly welcome all students, families, and staff to the 2024-2025 school year. Let’s make it a year of growth, discovery, and success.
