Parent Engagement Session: Partnering for Success
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.
