School Board Sets Up Transition Team for Beaver Brae

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board has set up a transition team as it prepares to welcome grade seven and eight students into Beaver Brae next fall.

Superintendant of Education, Sean Monteith updated trustees this week on plans to expand the secondary school to include junior grades for the 2013-2014 school year.

The transition team includes administration from the public school board, parents, trustees, teachers and students.

Monteith says adding grade seven and eight at Beaver Brae will help fill some of the gaps that may have existed at the elementary school level due to smaller enrolments.
