Sabtuan Adult Education Services (SAES), the adult sector of the Cree School Board (CSB), recently shared a list of local and regional programs it plans to offer in the 2022-2023 school year.

A state-of-the-art mechanics’ workshop sits on the first floor of the new Mistissini Sabtuan Learning Centre. The bright room features tall ceilings, fully stocked toolboxes, and workstations for students to tinker and learn. Vocational consultants are busy at work, ordering final equipment and putting finishing touches on the space. In an office nearby, a staff member checks the application portal, counting over 50 local applicants eager to take the Auto Mechanics program.

November 29 - December 1, 2022 | Gatineau, Québec

The Cree School Board is pleased to announce the Special Needs Symposium for Parents and Caregivers will take place in Gatineau, QC on November 29 to December 1, 2022. We are grateful to be collaborating with the Disability Programs Specialized Services of the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay and Child and Family Services of the Cree Nation Government on this very special event.

In 2020, the Continuous Learning Journey training program launched to support and empower administrative support staff. It was made to provide skills, tools and guidance through their roles at the Cree School Board. The program was lead by Human Resources and Sabtuan Adult Education Services.

The Cree School Board is proud to congratulate 15 exceptional students who completed the Iyeskuwiiu Springboard to a Diploma of College Studies (DCS) program earlier this month.

The 25^th Regional Annie Whiskeychan Day (RAWD) was held at the Waswanipi Schools on Friday, May 27^th, 2022. The event took place in Downriver’s Cultural Village. The day had beautiful weather, with an overcast sky and a temperature of 12˚C.

We are saddened by the unexpected passing of Joshua Miller on May 25, 2022. Joshua was a passionate teacher who loved working with our students in Whapmagoostui, Chisasibi, and Waskaganish. He worked as a Teacher (2011-2012 and 2017-2018), Special Education Department Head (2018-2022) and Interim Principal at the Cree School Board. At the same time, Joshua loved working for the Cree youth through Youth Fusion (2010-2014) and Frontier College (2014).

Did you know there is an easier way to track your child’s progress in school?

The Cree School Board has launched the Mozaïk Portal for Parents online since December 2021. The Portal is a website that functions as a communication tool for parents, allowing parents to track their child’s academic progress while in school and giving them access to their child’s school files, including attendance, report cards, and many other great features!

Iyeskuwiiu, a CEGEP-level Springboard program customized for Cree students, is now accepting applications for the 2022-2023 school year.

Iyeskuwiiu is a unique, culturally relevant CEGEP-level program offered by Sabtuan Adult Education Services (SAES) in partnership with John Abbott College. The program helps students prepare for post-secondary while deepening their Cree identity. All courses were developed by Cree community members, for Cree students. The courses include Cree Language, Power & Influence in Eeyou Istchee (Humanities), and land-based Physical Education.
