Principal's Message

Welcome to Springwood Elementary! Springwood is now in year 6 since its opening in 2017, and it continues to be a steadily growing school with 273 students (11 Divisions) in grades K-7 from the North end of Prince George. Within these past six years, Springwood has become a welcoming, student centered, close knit school community. 

 

Springwood has 17 Teachers and 7 Support Staff. In addition, we have a Y after school program. Our school is proud of our rich Fine Arts Program for students in grades K-7, offered through music, ukulele, recorder, and band. In addition, Springwood students and staff get to utilize up to date technology including laptops at students’ fingertips, smart panels in all classrooms, 3D printer, iPads, Makey-makey kits, micro bits, cameras, drone camera, condenser microphones, various robotic items, and a green screen. All our classrooms are welcoming environments that recognize the diverse needs of all students. We are proud to be a part of the Hart Family of Schools, where our students enter Shas Ti/KRSS for their Gr 8-12 years.

 

The staff at Springwood continue to grow and readjust our Positive Behavior Intervention Support Program (PBIS) to meet the changing need of our learners. A PBIS Program is a “schoolwide system of supports that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviours to create positive school environments”. As the framework for this program, the staff and students at Springwood determined back in 2017 a core set of values that are important to all of us “SPARK” Safety, Perseverance, Accountability, Respect, and Kindness. This year, we have further expanded this program by merging it with the Core Competencies. 

 

We look forward to the 2022-23 school year filled with meaningful learning and lots of fun!
