    School Philosophy

    Gold Bar School is a community that provides a rich learning environment where students are active citizens who are encouraged and supported as they engage in their journey as lifelong learners.  We believe that each of our learners is unique and has diverse strengths, interests and needs which are valued and nurtured, and in so doing, each child will be prepared for increasingly complex life and work environments in the 21st century.  We believe strong communities are built through clear and open communication with parents, students and staff and thereby foster safe and secure learning environments for every child to realize their potential.  We believe in empowering our students by celebrating their successes, and by using restorative practices which seek to repair relationships that have been damaged, so that every voice is heard, valued and acknowledged.  We believe every child has the right and the responsibility to belong to our many communities and that each child has gifts that contribute to and enhance these communities, both within and beyond the walls of the school.  We believe success is different for every child and includes processes as well as the product, beyond academics, including social relationships, community building and citizenship.  We believe students will be engaged in leadership roles as they navigate their lifelong learning journey.

We will now only accept resident students in Grades 1 to 6 who have newly moved into the school’s attendance area for the regular program.

Non-resident students can enroll in another Division school with space in planned classes. If you are registering for Kindergarten or are new to Edmonto Publlic Schools, you must register online.

September 2023

I am honored to have the opportunity to be the new Principal at Gold Bar School. Over the past few months I have worked closely with Mrs. Korchinksi to ensure the transition for staff, students and the community as a whole will be as smooth as possible. She will be missed! I am committed to continuing the amazing things already in place for the success of each student and the community as a whole.

I believe that every student, regardless of their individual or academic journey, has a place in our school. Each has a unique set of interests, learning styles and strengths, and plays an integral part in the success of our entire community.

I have had the pleasure of working in Edmonton Public Schools for the past 16 years as well as in previous schools in Hinton and Athabasca. This has given me a variety of experiences and taught me many valuable lessons along the way.

I am committed to continuing the culture already established within the Gold Bar School Community. I value open communication and will share information regularly through SchoolZone, SeeSaw and our school website.  I encourage you to reach out at any point with any questions or concerns.

Please feel free to contact me anytime at 780 466 4116 or by email, donna.overacker@epsb.ca.

I look forward to a year of growth, laughter and achievement! 

Donna Overacker

Principal
