Employee Appreciation Week: February 24-28, 2025

Grande Prairie Public School Division is proud to designate February 24-28, 2025, as Employee Appreciation Week across all our locations as a testament to our employees' unwavering commitment to our students and their futures.

This week, we are celebrating our employees and their success as difference-makers. Our dedicated team of approximately 1,400 staff members nurtures our students' academic, social, and emotional growth through their collective efforts.

A learning community is characterized by sharing a clear vision for student success and a focus on continually improving, and those characteristics are evident in your work. Regardless of your role in the division, you make a difference in the success of our students, and I am grateful to each one of you for your dedication and commitment.
- Sandy McDonald, GPPSD Superintendent

As we celebrate Staff Appreciation Week, I want to take a moment to express the gratitude our Board of Trustees have for each and every one of you. Your dedication, passion, and hard work make a lasting impact on our students, families, and community.

You are all an essential part in creating a positive and supportive learning environment. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly fortunate to have such a committed team.  - Joan Nellis, Board Chair, GPPSD
