Principal’s Message
Welcome, Dannch’e
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to Takhini Elementary School. I honour and value that the school is located in the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and respect the long history of education that has taken place on this land over many generations.
Takhini Elementary School has a proud history of serving the Whitehorse community and providing our students with the skills needed to grow as lifelong learners. This continues to be our focus and mandate as we move into the 2018/19 school year. As part of that mandate and in order to meet all of our students’ diverse sets of needs, the school staff continue to develop their knowledge and skills. Over the past five years, in tandem with high academic standards, the school team has put a special emphasis on social emotional learning and using the most recent research to assist student development. Takhini Elementary is becoming a leader in this innovative work and we continue to grow our understanding and practices at reaching out to our entire student community. As a new member of our educational and administrative team, I am excited to be part of Takhini Elementary School.
I invite you to drop by the school to see the successful and innovate work we do daily or to simply say hello. I also encourage parents, guardians, and community members to actively become active members of our educational community. You are not only welcome, but are valued as essential members of our school community.
Sincerely
Gary Morgan
