About Bassano School

After completing our first year in our newly modernized school, we look forward to another very successful and exciting school year. For students and parents new to our school, we are very proud of our school, our relationships with our students, staff and parents is at an amazing level. We celebrate our partnerships with the strong communication that exists between all involved. Welcome all to another fantastic year at Bassano School!

Bassano School is home to approximately 360 students from kindergarten to grade 12. Bassano School has constantly sought to serve the needs and ambitions of the two communities that provide students to our school- the Town of Bassano and surrounding area and the neighboring Siksika Nation. To continue to support our primary goals and to move forward as a school, we need strong participation and support from the members of our school community including teachers, support staff, administrators, parents and students and our community partners. The education of a child is the work of a community and when vibrant, positive and trusting relationships are developed among the influential adults in our children’s lives, we collectively become a very powerful support for our children.

A great school is dependent upon the attitudes and behaviours of every individual associated with the school, it is our goal to be the best we can be, and to work towards our vision statement which encourages people to be respectful, responsible and involved.

As parents and students, we ask that you read the information in this handbook, to familiarize yourselves with the guidelines and goals established with our school staff, as well as our student and parent councils. We hope you find this information to be worthwhile and will look forward to your feedback throughout the year.
