    Alternative Programs

    Academic Enrichment Program is developed and designed to enhance educational opportunities for Rosslyn School students (more information here).  

    Starting in September 2022, Pre-Advanced Placement will no longer be available at our school and will be replaced by the Academic Enrichment Program.

    Like Pre-Advanced Placement, the Academic Enrichment Program will offer students challenging academic experiences by deepening their learning in the core subjects of mathematics, science, English language arts and social studies. The program will prepare junior high students for academic programming in high school, including Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate.

    Learn more about the Academic Enrichment Program and see if it is the right fit for your child.

    Many students have the characteristics and profile to be Academic Enrichment Program learners, including:

    • Being at grade level when starting the program 
    • The ability to learn independently 
    • The willingness to seek out and respond well to academic challenges 
    • The ability to manage multiple tasks and responsibilities 
    • The commitment to attend school regularly and punctually 
    • The desire to do the work of a rigorous program beyond school hours
    • Working within school and classroom behavioral norms and the desire to be involved in leadership roles 
    • Most importantly, the desire to excel!  

    Please contact the school at 780.453.1576 to receive more information regarding applying and enrolling in this class.

  • Special Programming

    Special Programming

    Interactions programming supports students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD impacts how people understand what they see, hear and sense. This lifelong disability can result in difficulties in communication, social relationships, behaviour or learning. Although some students with ASD achieve at grade level, many have uneven or delayed achievement.  Rosslyn School has a very strong and caring program to support these young students.  The program itself has received many accolades and provincial, national, and international recognition.  Here is a link providing more information about the program.

    Connections programming assists students with chronic, extreme, pervasive anti-social behaviours. Programming supports students to achieve academically and to develop and apply acceptable behaviour and social skills in the classroom, school and community.  Here is a link providing more information.

    This program assists students with mild cognitive disabilities and severe behavioural challenges. Here is a link providing more information.

Principal's Message

Welcome to Rosslyn School!

Welcome back Roadrunners to another great school year! As your new Principal, I am so excited to build relationships with all members of our school community and support students and families. 

At Rosslyn School, we are proud to be a community 7 - 9 school as well as the Division Site for Interactions, Connections, Connections - Opp, and CASA classroom. We believe in working together with students and families to provide a welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging. We believe in providing dynamic and flexible learning environments that support and celebrate all learners both inside and outside of the classroom. 

We are committed to focusing on character development and citizenship in a variety of learning environments. We work collectively in these areas by engaging our students and their families; celebrating positive behaviour and using teachable moments to build our school community. It is our belief that this approach encourages students to make positive choices that align with our 3 R’s: Respect, Resilience, and Responsibility. 

Throughout the school year, parents can keep in touch with the school through your child’s Google Classrooms, SchoolZone, or by contacting the school directly.  We invite you to join us and participate in school celebrations, School Council meetings, parent/teacher conferences and our special event days.

Together, we look forward to supporting all students’ passions, both inside and outside of the classroom, and to celebrating each student’s individual and unique talents, interests and skills!

Cathy Burrows

Principal
