Presented by Deanna Brady, District Principal of Inclusive Education and Lise Hyam, District Coordinator of Inclusive Education

Join us for the first SD73 Parent Engagement Session of the 2026-2027 school year to learn about empowerment and partnership—helping you become a strong advocate for your child while building positive, collaborative relationships with the school team. 

In this session, you will: 

  • Learn how the BC education system supports students with diverse needs 
  • Understand the roles of teachers, education assistants, case managers, and school teams 
  • Gain a clear overview of Individual Education Plan (IEPs) —what they are, how they work, and your rights as a parent 
  • Discover simple strategies to prepare for, participate in, and follow up after IEP meetings 
  • Take home easy-to-use resources, including checklists, key questions, and a guide to supports available in BC

This workshop will be held via Zoom on Monday, October 5, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. If you are interested in attending, please use the following Zoom link here.
