Each year parents/guardians are eligible to apply for book allowance for registered band member students or those living on reserve who will be on Ts'kw'aylaxws Nominal Roll.  The Book Allowance is for all Ts'kw'aylaxw registered Band Members enrolled in grades Kindergarten to grade 12.  It is also available to those who are not Registered Band Members but reside on our reserve and are eligible to be on Nominal Roll.

Procedures for Registering Concerns with School District #74

At the bottom of this page you will find Policy #1006 and Regulations #1006 for registering a concern within School District 74.  If you and your child has any concerns with teachers, students, bus drivers, principals, etc. these pages will explain how to deal with the concern.

Following the procedures as outlined will ensure your concern is resolved in the appropriate manner and in a timely manner.

I enourage all parents to put your concerns in writing and present them so that if further action is required you will have everything documented.  If you would like support when dealing with a concern I am available to assist you with this process.

You may also check out the entire policy book on-line at http://www.sd74.bc.ca/ The school district website also contains other information you may wish to access such as learning links, schools, students, employees, trustees, meetings, programs, events, etc.
