Bienvenue à l'École Voyageur!

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I join the École Voyageur community as Principal for the 2026-2027 school year. I am honoured to become part of a school that is deeply committed to student success, French Immersion learning, and building meaningful relationships with families.

As we begin a new school year together, we acknowledge that our school is located on Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininiw, and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation. We recognize the importance of learning from and honouring the diverse cultures, histories, and perspectives that continue to shape our community.

École Voyageur has a unique and proud history. Originally opened in 1968, the school served the Crestview community for many years before transitioning to French Immersion programming and officially becoming École Voyageur in 2020. Today, we continue to grow as a vibrant learning community where students are encouraged to develop confidence in both French and English while fostering a lifelong appreciation for languages, cultures, and learning.

At École Voyageur, we believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student success. Open, respectful, and ongoing communication helps ensure that families and school staff work together to support each child's academic, social, and emotional development. We encourage parents and caregivers to stay connected through school communications, participate in school events, and reach out whenever they have questions, concerns, or celebrations to share.

As educators, parents, and community members, we share a common goal: helping every child reach their full potential. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where all students feel valued, supported, and challenged to grow. Together, we can create rich learning experiences that inspire curiosity, build character, and foster a strong sense of belonging.

I look forward to getting to know our students, families, and community throughout the year. Thank you for your partnership, trust, and support as we work together to help every child thrive.

Sincerely,

Joel Yerex
