Hello, Abby Schools community!

We are pleased to introduce you to our new Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Nathan Ngieng. Please enjoy his welcome back message below.

The start of a new school year always brings a sense of energy and possibility. On September 2nd, more than 20,000 students will walk through the doors of our 46 schools, supported by 3,000 staff who are ready to guide, inspire, and celebrate their growth this year. The Abbotsford Board of Education is excited to see what this year will bring for our students-new learning, new friendships, and new opportunities to thrive. 

Here is an update on the construction projects for Abbotsford Middle School, Auguston Traditional Elementary, and Margaret Stenersen Elementary schools. 

Abbotsford Middle School Addition

This addition project is a ministry funded ‘fast track’ project with an accelerated schedule. The two-storey addition consists of 8 classrooms. The construction management contractor mobilized on site shortly after the building permit was issued by the city early January and we are targeting substantial completion for this upcoming September!

Here are three essential guidelines for maintaining security, preventing rodent infestations, and preparing for winter conditions within our district facilities. 

Building Security

Thank you to all staff for making sure your site is secure after hours.  When sites are properly secured and armed at the end of the day, it eliminates unnecessary late-night callouts to Paladin Security and District Staff, saving the district time and money.

Before leaving your classroom or office, please make sure:
