Computer Coding 9:   Android App Development

Using MIT’s App Inventor software, students in Computer Coding 9 develop a fun interactive translate app for Android devices. Many students choose to learn words from the Halq’emey’lem language of our local BC Stolo First People, while others link to their own unique cultural heritage. Learning to program mobile devices with a visual language brings coding to life for students in fun and empowering ways.

Teacher Reflection:

Mr. Sung Oh

In accordance with the School Act, the Abbotsford Board of Education must approve a balanced budget by June 30th each year. The Abbotsford School District is currently preparing its budget for the 2023-24 school year and is inviting employees, families and community members to share their voice in the consultation process. 

At the March 7th public board meeting, the Abbotsford Board of Education passed a motion to approve and formalize the school calendar for 2023-2024. The Abbotsford Board of Education is required to create a calendar that meets the legislated requirements of the School Act, and the Abbotsford Teachers Union (ATU) Collective Agreement.

Spotlight on Learning:   Be More Than a Bystander Presentation

We are thrilled to announce that four Abbotsford School District "Heroes in Education" have been featured in a special publication in the Abbotsford News for their exceptional work and dedication to education.

Congratulations to the following:

Nicole Longpre - Teacher at Centennial Park Elementary
She got into assistance work about seven years ago, and now instead of a full classroom, she has a day full of various duties. She helps students with designations like autism, and supports the kids who just need a boost with reading and writing.

The Abbotsford Board of Education is currently seeking feedback from parents/guardians, families, employees, students and the larger community on the proposed calendar for the 2023-24 school year.

The Challenge

The intent of the Tethered Mini-Sumo Robot Challenge is to introduce junior students to the varied field of Technology through the design, building and competing in an event that is fun and exciting. The Mini-sumo is an internationally standardized class of robotic competition, which has traditionally seen most competitions use a computer-programmed chip to control the robot. Our challenge has been adapted to use a tether and remote to control the robots.
