What Springvalley Elementary School does

Springvalley Elementary School is a public K-5 elementary school operated by School District No. 23 (Central Okanagan School District) in Kelowna, British Columbia. The school opened on May 9, 1974 at 470 Ziprick Road, initially housing 8 classrooms, and underwent renovations in 1995 to add a new kitchen and additional classrooms to accommodate growth in the West Rutland area. Its student body is highly diverse, with approximately 50% identified as English Language Learners and roughly 25% identifying as Indigenous, which shapes a programming emphasis on ELL support and Indigenous education alongside standard literacy and numeracy instruction. The school serves students enrolled through the SD23 catchment-based registration system, with no tuition charged to residents.

The school's digital infrastructure runs on Imagine Everything Inc.'s content management system and integrates with several district-provided platforms: Microsoft Azure AD for staff and student SSO, SchoolCashOnline for fee and payment processing, School Messenger for parent communications, the Insignia Library System for catalog and circulation, and an Awinfosys-based Student Learning Survey platform. Programs include arts (choir, talent show, art walk), athletics (volleyball, basketball, cross country, track and field, rugby, European handball), a breakfast program supported by the Gary Bennett Family Fund, library services, Indigenous education support led by Indigenous Advocate Ms. Barb Haldane, and a Parent Advisory Council (PAC) that maintains active Facebook and Instagram channels.

The school's leadership team comprises Principal Dr. Jeremy Sanbrooks (who completed a doctorate in education in 2020 focused on digital wellness), Vice Principal Ms. Maria Cicchelli (with prior ELL and learning assistance experience), Indigenous Advocate Ms. Barb Haldane, and School Trustee Liaison Lee-Ann Tiede. As a publicly funded institution under the BC Ministry of Education, the school does not generate commercial revenue; its operations are funded through provincial education allocations distributed by SD23, with supplementary philanthropic support (e.g., Gary Bennett Family Fund, MusiCounts) for specific programs such as nutrition and music.
