Keep your child healthy during winter
As the chilly winter season approaches, there are things you can do to help keep your children healthy and well.
Get ready for winter at home and in the community
Abbotsford Senior Secondary students recently earned 41 medals, including more than 20 gold, after competing at the prestigious World Scholar’s Cup Tournament of Champions (TOC) at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut!
The students qualified for the TOC by advancing through the Regional Round in Vancouver and the Global Round in Bangkok, placing them among the top 15 per cent of teams worldwide. This year’s tournament brought together approximately 500 teams from more than 70 countries to compete in Debate, Writing, the Scholar’s Challenge and the Scholar’s Bowl.

Make dental, hearing and vision checks part of a healthy routine
It’s important for your child to have regular eye exams and routine dental checkups. This can help find issues early and lead to better outcomes. It is also important to recognize any hearing loss early as this is essential for speech and language development.

No one wants to take the ‘treat’ out of trick-or-treating, but Halloween treats can increase the risk of cavities. This year, Fraser Health is encouraging families to plan ahead to help scare away tooth decay.
Halloween is just around the corner, and our schools are buzzing with excitement as students prepare to show off their creativity and enjoy some festive fun together. As we get ready to celebrate, it’s important that our events and costume choices reflect the values we share as a community: kindness, inclusion, and respect.

Keep your children free from respiratory illnesses this winter
As the weather gets colder and we spend more time indoors, we’re more likely to get sick with things like colds, flu or COVID-19 because these illnesses spread more easily in enclosed spaces.
The Abbotsford School District is proud to announce that Cash Calhoun, a Abbotsford Senior Secondary student whose family roots connect to the Heiltsuk and Nisga’a Nations on his father’s side and the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Nation on his mother’s side, is the winner of the 2025 Orange Shirt Art Contest.
