The Cree School Board began its Community Tour for the 4th Regional General Assembly in October 2022, visiting majority of your schools and communities around Eeyou Istchee to discuss the theme “Continuing Our Iiyiyiu Education Journey.”

The biennial Regional General Assembly will travel to the remaining communities that we were unable to visit in October. The following dates have been rescheduled for Whapmagoostui, Oujé-Bougoumou, and Waswanipi:

For Parents & Caregivers

During the RGA Community Tour, come to your community’s special needs dialogue and luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This will provide an opportunity for parents and caregivers of special needs children and adults to share their insights and concerns.

We want to hear from you!

The Cree School Board would like to congratulate 79 students who earned their Secondary School Diploma during the 2021-2022 school year.

The 2021-2022 school year was challenging for many students, but we are happy to announce that 34% of students enrolled in Secondary V earned their Secondary School Diploma, largely to the commitment of our students and the ongoing support from the parents, guardians, and teachers. Thank you!

“We are proud of our graduates who have persevered throughout the pandemic to finish strong and carry on with their educational and life journeys“, said Kim Quinn, Director of School Operations.
