<h3>Welcome to School District No. 22 (Vernon)<o:p></o:p></h3><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0cm;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">Welcome to a new school year in School District 22. If you are just joining our school district community, I invite you to keep up on our news on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SchoolDistrict22">Facebook</a> and on the SD22 webpage <a href="https://www.sd22.bc.ca/">Home - School District No. 22 (Vernon)</a><o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">The start of a school year brings with it a sense of possibility. It is a time to reconnect with one another, welcome new faces into our schools, and look ahead to the learning, growth, and experiences that will shape the year to come. Whether you are a student, staff member, parent, caregiver, or community partner, you play an important role in helping our schools thrive, and I am grateful for the contributions each of you make to our district.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">This year, our schools will continue to focus on helping students build strong foundations in learning, supporting their well-being, and creating environments where everyone feels they matter. We will work collaboratively to encourage curiosity, strengthen literacy and numeracy skills, promote safe, inclusive, and welcoming school environments, and provide meaningful opportunities for students to explore pathways that connect learning to their future aspirations.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">School communities are built on care for one another. Knowing that some members of our school community have faced challenges related to wildfire activity over the summer, the daily acts of kindness, encouragement, and support that take place in our schools and workplaces, become even more important. We want everyone to know that as we return to school, our network of additional supports is in place and accessible.<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0cm;" type="disc"><li class="xmsonormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list 36.0pt;" data-list-item-id="e809cebbe022cd73aa223c5edaa1ddc9e"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><strong>NOYFSS (North Okanagan Youth and Family Services)</strong>&nbsp;– Counselling, youth support, family services 250‑545‑3572&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="xmsonormal" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo2;tab-stops:list 36.0pt;" data-list-item-id="e444bc28910ad0fc13d4f12fe21a7e48e"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><strong>CYMH (Child &amp; Youth Mental Health)</strong>&nbsp;– Mental health support for children and youth 250‑549‑5404&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="xmsonormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list 36.0pt;" data-list-item-id="edccf76a47530812da57b76189fb8240e"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><strong>Youth Integrated Services Hub</strong>&nbsp;– Youth counselling and supports 250‑540‑5202&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="xmsonormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4;tab-stops:list 36.0pt;" data-list-item-id="e5978082006235db2ffcffcfb1f0e9069"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><strong>For SD22 Staff&nbsp;</strong>– Employee and Family Assistance: 1-844-880-9137&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class="xmsonormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="xmsonormal">I am continually inspired by the dedication of our staff, the support of families, the leadership of our Board of Education, and the partnerships we share throughout our SD22 community.
