We are a collaborative community, where everyone is valued and students achieve success by engaging in high quality, inclusive learning experiences. Fleetwood-Bawden houses approximately 350 students from Early Education to Grade 5. We are a dual-track school, welcoming children in a mainstream educational program and a Montessori program - both follow Alberta Education curriculum. Fleetwood-Bawden provides an inclusive, welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environment where we inspire a passion for learning. We have a dedicated staff that support learning every day. Numerous parent and community member volunteers are also a valued part of our team. The Fleetwood-Bawden community believes in providing an educationally rich environment where students will achieve success and be contributing, responsible citizens who make a positive difference in the world. Learning spaces extend beyond classrooms to our gymnasium, music room, movement room, calming space, literacy lounge, kitchen and a large Learning Commons. The Learning Commons houses a large quantity of books, resources and technologies including computers, laptops, IPads, a 3D printer and a large screen for video conferencing and presentations. A green screen is also used throughout the year for creating videos. Fleetwood-Bawden is situated on a generous playing field where students have access to many sports activities. A full-sized playground further enhances outdoor activities for students and the surrounding community. Fleetwood-Bawden strives to be an "environmentally friendly" school through its promotion of environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. This includes recycling programs, minimizing the consumption of paper, past community garden and composting initiatives, as well as student displays throughout the year focusing on environmental issues. Fleetwood-Bawden is known for integrating healthy living practices into all facets of students' time at school. A free daily nutritious breakfast is available to all students; movement breaks and wellness activities are incorporated into lessons; movement equipment is available in classrooms (such as desk cycles, wiggle cushions, yoga balls and standing desks). We love learning together each day at Fleetwood-Bawden.
