Accountability at EGHE: We All Have a Part to Play

This year, our school-wide focus is accountability. Accountability is one of our PACK values — Perseverance, Accountability, Community, and Kindness — and this year we have chosen to take a deeper look at what accountability really means for our students and our school community.

As a staff, we have organized our learning around four connected ideas: I Belong, I Have an Impact, I Show I Care, and I Take Responsibility. We want students to understand that accountability is about much more than following rules. It begins with belonging — recognizing that we are part of a community, that our choices affect others, that caring is something we show through our actions, and that when we make mistakes, we can own them, repair, learn, and try again.

Throughout the year, students will hear this common language in their classrooms, around the school, and during our school-wide learning together.

Hello EGHE Families,

As a friendly reminder, the School District 48 (Sea to Sky) has policies in place to maintain a safe and healthy environment on school grounds, including specific guidelines about dogs on school property.

Under Policy 804, please keep the following in mind when bringing dogs to school sites:

1. Leashing Requirements: All dogs on school property must be leashed, tethered, and under the control of a responsible person at all times. This helps ensure the safety of students, staff, and other community members.

2. Clean-Up: If a dog defecates on school grounds, the person in control of the dog is required to clean up and dispose of the waste properly.

3. Annual Review: Each school’s principal will meet with the Parent Advisory Council and staff yearly to review this policy and discuss any local guidelines that may be in place. Our current local guidelines are to maintain a safe distance from classroom lineups by keeping dogs off the asphalt in the courtyard past the yellow gate (as many children are fearful of dogs and many dogs on leash in a small area can become aggressive with one another). 

We appreciate your help in keeping our schools a safe and welcoming place for everyone (including our furry friends).
