School Focus

Westboro Elementary is also home to the Logos program; a non-denominational Christian alternative program with a spiritual focus to instruction. 

The provincial curriculum is taught by Christian teachers with prayer, devotion time and Christian doctrine. Religious assemblies, called Chapels, are held during the school year for all Logos students. Programs may include Bible readings, worship songs, dramas and prayers. Different classes plan these celebrations and they often focus on different themes or religious holidays.

Parents, relatives and friends are always invited to attend.

Westboro Elementary provides all the elements for students to have an engaging and positive educational experience.  The varied needs of all of our students are met in a variety of ways through differentiation, Individualized Program Plans as required and excellent classroom instruction.  

Westboro Elementary is also proud to be the host school for two system programs; the PLACE program is designed to meet the needs of students with moderate cognitive disabilities and significant delays in all areas of development. The STEPS program is for students with severe cognitive disabilities and significant delays in all areas of development.  

Both programs require parental consent and specific entry requirements as set out by the EIPS Student Support Services department.

Additional Programs:

Students in Grades 4-6 receive French instruction through the French as a Second Language (FSL) program. 

Social, emotional, and academic needs of students are met through the services of a part time counsellor. Westboro Elementary also works with our community to meet the needs of our students accessing service and support from Family Community Services and Alberta Health.

Technology is ever increasing in Westboro Elementary.  Video streaming, EIPS virtual library, DVDs, iPads and online media are integrated into the classroom learning environment in order to enrich student learning. Staff growth plans mirror these priorities and professional development in these areas is a focus.  Increasing the number of available devices for our students is also important. This year, we will be exploring the purchase of Chrome books for student use.
