Principal's Message

Welcome to École Squamish Elementary!
 
My name is Sarah Hain, the school principal. First off, I am delighted to be at this school!  
 
Our school community is honoured to be learning and playing on the unceded, traditional territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation. We have a wonderful school in the heart of Squamish, BC. 
 
Our team works together to create a school that is safe, kind and positive for all of our students, staff and families. We work towards building and strengthening connections each day and find ways for each student to thrive in their learning while creating authentic relationships.
