All at the Cree School Board are saddened by the unexpected passing of William Mianscum on October 22, 2020. William was a prominent and dedicated leader in Eeyou Istchee, including at the Cree School Board. Over his decades of service to the CSB, he served as the first CEA for Mistissini, Director of Finance (1998-2003), Deputy Director General, School Commissioner for Mistissini, Chairperson of the Cree School Board (2003-2006), and Director of Human Resources (2007-2008).

Mistissini community members have been patiently waiting for the completion of the new Mistissini Adult Learning Centre (MALC). While construction was paused due to COVID-19 measures, it has now resumed – and we’re looking forward to opening the building to the public soon.

Please be advised of the upcoming elections for School Commissioner in the Cree Nations of Eastmain, Mistissini, and Waswanipi.

The nomination period for all three communities runs from Monday, September 28, 2020 at 9:00 AM to Friday, October 2, 2020 at 5:00 PM. If you wish to nominate someone, you may download and print the nomination form below.

As Cree School Board prepares to reopen schools, training centres, and buildings, it is vital that we keep the community informed. Our plan for reopening follows the best advice of our public health professionals, respects community and regional regulations, and supports the safety & success of our students.

The Cree School Board would like to congratulate the 72 students who earned their Secondary School Diploma through CSB summer school. These students join the graduating class of 2019-20, bringing the total number of graduates to 245!

Back to school is just around the corner! To get ready for the new school year, the Cree School Board is inviting students, parents, and community members to tune into a Virtual Public Event this Tuesday, August 18, 2020, at 3 PM.

We know you have questions about your child’s progress. This has been an unprecedented year in the history of Canada, let alone the history of our Cree School Board. Because of this, and because of our unique relationship with the Quebec government, we have been able to offer a somewhat flexible, regional, and equitable approach to learning and evaluation.

You will receive your child’s report card, along with Ministry documents that explain the adaptations due to COVID-19, by mail the week of June 29, 2020.
