Kids Helping Kids Clothing Drive
Did you know that the Township of Langley Firefighters conduct a clothing drive every year? And did you know that the proceeds fund snack programs in Langley schools (including ours) so we can ‘top up’ kids who are hungry? This year’s clothing drive is coming soon!
Accessibility Committee, Accessibility Plan & Accessibility Survey
The Langley School District is committed to fostering a learning and working environment that supports all students and staff and provides opportunities for everyone in our school community. Under the province’s new Accessible BC Act, school districts across the province were required to create an accessibility committee, an accessibility plan, and a mechanism to receive public feedback regarding accessibility by September 2023.
The District has taken the necessary steps to meet these requirements, which are explained in the Accessibility Plan 2023-2026 here. The District, in collaboration with the Accessibility Committee, welcomes feedback from students, staff, and families on the plan as well as any information to help identify barriers in our system. The public is invited to fill-out this Accessibility Survey here. Print versions of this survey are available at the School Board Office. There are other methods of sharing feedback which are outlined on the District webpage here. If you have any questions or concerns, please email: accessibility@sd35.bc.ca
Back to School Wellness Toolkit
I know we’ve been back for long enough that it doesn’t at all feel like ‘Back to School’ anymore, but I only just learned about this Back to School Wellness Toolkit from BC Children’s Hospital late last week. It has resources and ideas that are helpful all year long! Check it out.
