We are more effective when we work collaboratively and seamlessly to support student needs. We are ALL responsible for working together for the success of ALL students. Improving communication and access to common information, establishing effective instructional and support teams, and focusing on wrapping around and strengthening the core relationship of teacher-student-families will improve student success.
We have developed a Framework for Collective Responsibility that will help guide the work we do from creating, implementing and monitoring School Plans for Learner Success, Local Education Agreements with First Nation communities, Individual Education Plans (IEP), and interventions by School-Based Teams (SBT). Common district assessments, with results made available in a timely and user-friendly format, support collaborative learning conversations by teams. Collective responsibility is a theme that emerges across all the other focus areas as we all do our parts toward common goals. Examples of this work include:
- Focus for the current year on walking together
- Collective Responsibility Framework
- New district data warehouse and information management system
- Strengthened school-based team (SBT) processes
- More opportunities for cross-school collaboration

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">World Teachers’ Day is held internationally on October 5 to celebrate the work of teachers. In Cariboo-Chilcotin School District we recognize that the core relationship of education is between the teacher- student- caregivers. We also recognize that teachers have incredible support here from all the staff, especially at the school level, who wrap around and support that relationship and the work of teaching and learning. We extend a big THANK YOU to teachers and the colleagues who make their work possible and hope they enjoy these BC apples from Desert Hills.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/1b97287d-179a-504e-840e-256ba0188d3a" alt="s2bep6wb.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>
Welcome Back BBQ
150 Mile Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">150 Mile Elementary PAC hosted a welcome back BBQ at the end of the first week of school. Over 180 students and parents came out to spend some time with teachers connecting and building community ties. Even the neighborhood bear made a visit in a nearby field munching on berries.</span></p><div data-lexical-layout-container="true" style="grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; display: grid;"><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/7c0bf166-f74e-5c7e-b673-b0031b3d51cd" alt="bxoosi4i.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div><div class="editor-layoutItem"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/13f9588f-cd8e-599e-8dd7-c239304092b0" alt="7mtxwjbk.jpg" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p></div></div><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p>
