Welcome to Wabannutao Eeyou School
As principal of Wabannutao Eeyou School, it is my pleasure to be able to collaborate with a dedicated team, consisting of, a vice-principal, two professional staff workers, eight support workers, eleven educators and forty-two teaching staff members. Together, not only do we strive towards providing our students with the opportunity to succeed in all areas, but also, towards helping them in their personal development and cultural awareness, as Cree People.
Wabannutao Eeyou School holds local Educational Conferences and Career Fairs with aims to prepare students with their future goals. Our students participate in the traditional activities and events we organize, such as the Walking Out Ceremony; the First Snowshoe Ceremony and Annie Whiskeychan Day, which allows them to gain a stronger sense of cultural identity.
Mikw Chiyâm
Mikw Chiyâm is present at our school three times during the year, six weeks before the Christmas holidays and twice afterwards, with three-week visits at a time. We are fortunate to have professional artists working with our students, by providing them with opportunities to discover, build, share and express themselves through the arts.
Concentration Programs
Eligible Grade 6 to Secondary II students participate in one of four concentration programs -- Art, Cree Culture, Science, or Sports -- for 6 periods in a 6 day cycle.
Participation is based on attendance, academic achievement and behaviour.
Homework Help
Elephant Thoughts
We are fortunate to have Elephant Thoughts available each year, to offer our students the help and support they need, to be able to graduate. They look for creative ways to motivate our student clientele.
Breakfast program
WES has approved a new Breakfast Program for students which we expect to begin soon. Watch our news feed for details!
Safe Schools
Transportation
RTI
Our school runs on a Response to Intervention model. The RTI model ensures that students are meeting specific learning targets and that there are interventions/supports in place for those students struggling to meet specific targets and/or extension activities planned for those students who have already mastered the targets
SNAP
Our students benefit from a custom-designed behavioural enrichment program. SNAP (Stop Now and Plan) teaches students to think through the consequences of their actions.
Kindergarten
Pre-K and Kindergarten are offered on site to 4 and 5 year olds.
Code of Conduct
WES believes in the right of each student and each staff member to work in a safe, nurturing, positive and respectful environment in its schools. It is the responsibility of everyone, parents, students and staff included, to contribute to the development and preservation of safe schools. WES also believes in teaching self-control, self-respect and self-discipline to help students prepare for a satisfying and productive life. WES does not tolerate any disorderly, uncooperative, or violent behavior, which impacts on the learning environment.
WES recognizes the need to address the bullying issues associated with our schools and school related activities. WES has adopted an anti-bullying program taking into consideration the importance of Cree values in order to help maintain a safe learning environment in accordance with our local improvement plan. WES promotes the use of prosocial and restorative practices to support appropriate student behaviors.
