Our Board of Education held its regular, monthly meeting on Feb. 11, 2025.

The meeting kicked off with a presentation on Montessori learning from teacher Amber Nikolaisen (City Park School) and her Grade 6 student, Atlas. They made a presentation to the board and other meeting attendees (in-person and virtual) on what Montessori education looks like in a typical day: providing areas of inquiry and resources and then making space for students to learn independently. Montessori is available at Lakeridge School (kindergarten to grade 6) and City Park School (grades 1-8).

The other agenda items included:

An update on the City Centre School Project

A discussion of the potential impacts on U.S. tariffs

An overview of Supports for Learning and the John Dolan financial deficit

A strategic plan accountability report on early learning

The complete Feb. 11 board agenda is accessible here.

NOTE: City Park School is holding a Montessori Information Night on March 6, 2025 from 6-7 p.m. Anyone is welcome to attend.
