We would like to sincerely welcome Tamarac Education Centre (TEC) students, parents, guardians, staff and community partners to the 2024-2025 school year.
Being part of TEC means being part of an amazing learning community. Tamarac Education Centre currently serves approximately 550 students and offers both French Immersion and English programming. TEC serves students from pre-primary to Grade 8 and provides a variety of learning and programming supports to ensure success for all.
As a school, one of our main objectives is to teach our children to be hardworking, respectful and caring members of our community. At TEC, teachers focus on ensuring each student reaches their maximum potential in a culturally responsive environment. We work to foster and develop confident, capable students with strong academic and social skills.
In order for students to achieve to their potential at school, effective partnership and open communication between parents/guardians and the school is essential. To that end, we welcome and encourage parent/guardian involvement in all extra-curricular activities; from helping to coach school sports to lending a hand as a volunteer driver for extra-curricular events, your time and support are always appreciated. TEC will continue to promote extra-curricular activities at school in the form of sports, drama, band/music, dance, to name a few, so there are ample opportunities for parent/guardians to become involved.
We also have an active School Advisory Council (SAC) that meet approximately once per month – our first meeting of 2024-2025 will be set for mid to late September (date TBD).
As an administration team new to TEC for the 2024-2025 school year, we are very much looking forward to getting to know all members of the school community, and working together with all of our partners in education to support student well-being and achievement.
Welcome to TEC!
