Parent Resources

Peace Wapiti Public School Division (PWPSD) views parents as the key influence in a child's life, and welcomes their involvement in our schools. Our excellent, caring teachers and support staff work with parents to help each child make the most of their educational experience. We hope you find this information helpful. If you have any questions or suggestions on how this page could better meet your needs, please contact us at (780) 532-8133.

PWPSD Parent Assurance Surveys

PWPSD wants to hear from you! This year, we will once again be conducting a survey of our parents. This survey will be delivered through your child(ren)'s school(s) and easy to complete. The survey will ask for your input on items that are important in guiding the Division toward our priorities of ensuring high quality student learning, equity in education, and wellness. The survey will not collect any personal information and is completely anonymous.

Each spring, results from the Division Assurance Surveys, along with student achievement data, are used to update Division and School 3-Year Education Plans. These plans identify the priorities, outcomes, and strategies used to achieve our goals. The PWPSD Parent Assurance Surveys allow a greater level of engagement, target the Division's three priority areas, and provide data that is used to assess progress and guide planning to support continuous improvement.

Your survey link will be emailed to you from your child(ren)'s school(s) starting Monday, April 22, 2024 and will remain open until Tuesday, May 7, 2024.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your school.
