On behalf of staff in the Saanich District Student Services Department, I welcome you to this website.

In the Saanich School District, we subscribe to the Principles of Learning:

• Learning requires the active participation of the learner.
• People learn in different ways and at different rates.
• Learning is an individual and a social process.

We acknowledge the diversity of our student population and believe that all students are special. Together with students and their families, we work to provide high-quality learning opportunities for all students and to enable each to achieve to the best of his or her ability. At the same time, we know: Some students require additional means to facilitate their access to learning and to support their learning needs.

I trust that the information you find here will be of interest and use as you seek support for your child's developmental and learning needs.

Sincerely,
Marlene Dergousoff
Assistant Superintendent (Student Services)
