Principal's Message

Welcome to Kersley Elementary's Website. We are a small school of only 63 students, but our students are very responsible and I'm always hearing from community members, guests, or teachers-on-call (substitute teachers) how much they love to come to Kersley Elementary School.

We believe that developing social responsibility with our students is extremely important and we have school-wide programs that focus on teaching our students to be KODIAKS: Kind, Outstanding Work Habits, Dedicated to Respect, Include Everyone, Achieving Goals, Keen, and Safe. All students have been taught that our hands and words are for helping, not hurting.

Our extra-curricular activities such as volleyball and basketball are successful because of the volunteer work of teachers and parents. We have an on-going fundraiser with a bottle drop-off station, and we also have parents who come into the classroom on a regular basis. We welcome parents to volunteer. There are many opportunities in our school to get involved.

Our school and community strives to work together to provide a safe, supportive environment where all students are encouraged to try their best.

HealthLinkBC is the gateway to access, non-emergency health information services in BC.   It is a phone number (8-1-1) and it is a website ( www.HealthLinkBC.com ). It is also a collection of print (BC HealthGuide handbook and HealthLinkBC Files), and telephone resources, which put both services and health information into the hands of BC residents.
