Okanagan Falls Elementary offers many fantastic opportunities for students and parents to become successful learning partners.

Social Emotional Learning
Our school plan focus for the fourth year involves exploration of our inquiry and vision question: "If we foster resiliency, specifically self-regulation in our students, will academic achievement and social responsibility improve?" We have implemented the school-wide initiative called MindUP. To learn more about our school's strategies on Social Emotional Learning, please click here.
