Community Partnerships

Foothills School Division encapsulates diverse communities, which include many different perspectives about what is important for students and public education. At times, opinions are conflicting and wide-ranging. As a result, it’s important for members of the public to make efforts to learn about opportunities to get involved in sharing their perspectives. It’s also important that members of the public participate in a respectful way and have a clear understanding of the FSD’s community engagement processes. This will help them to understand their role in each engagement initiative.

Most FSD community engagement initiatives are initiated by the Division Executive Team and Board of Trustees, as set by the organization’s Mission, Vision, and goals of the Education Plan. 

• University of Calgary: Foothills School Division has renewed its partnership with the University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education. FSD staff now have opportunities to participate in Werklund School professional learning. And, student teachers also have access to FSD learning on Division-wide professional learning days. We are also partnering with the Werklund School to advance the work of the Network cited above as well as to advance our work in supporting staff wellness and well-being.
