Hello to all Featherston Drive families!
My name is Brian Chiasson, and I am honoured to become a new member of your school community this year. Last year, I served as Vice-Principal at Queen Elizabeth Public School, and I come prepared with a toolkit of strategies and resources that will assist me in successfully tackling this new role of school leader. My philosophy of education includes, but is by no means limited to: building and strengthening relationships with students, education professionals, parents and community stakeholders; being actively involved in providing instructional leadership opportunities for staff; and being an ambassador, along with all other members of the school community, for the school’s vision moving forward.
Having already met all of the wonderfully dedicated staff members in the building, I am excited to start collaborating with them to best meet the needs of each and every one of our students. I am keenly aware of our school’s multitude of academic programs, extra-curricular opportunities, and community partnerships. These initiatives will assist our young leaders of tomorrow to acquire the characteristics and skills that are required for them to be as successful as possible in life.
One of the greatest ways to support students in their academic and extra-curricular pursuits is through effective communication between the school and a student’s home. Do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher, the Vice-Principal, or me, should you have any questions or concerns. We will most certainly do our best to communicate school-wide relevant information to you via School Messenger mass emails or phone calls, website updates, Twitter news, or notices sent home in your child’s backpack.
I am so looking forward to beginning this exciting journey with all of you. Here’s to a memorable year to come!
B. Chiasson
Principal
