​​Parent Teacher Conferences

Semester 2 Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 2023, with a choice of two sessions:

Session 1:  2:00-4:00 PM

Session 2:  5:30-7:30 PM​


Save these dates!    Semester 2 Parent - Teacher Conference Booking Window Dates​

Conferences will take place in teacher classrooms, the learning commons or collaborative spaces and will last 5 minutes each.  Please be mindful when selecting appointment times to allow sufficient travel time in between appointments as teachers will need to be prompt with their meeting times.

Handsworth Secondary will be using School Appointments, the same online appointment booking system as in previous years. This online system allows parents flexibility to select their own appointments and book them online.  Please note that this is a “first come, first serve" system and appointment slots will fill up quickly. The school office will not be able to book any appointments. If you find that appointments are no longer available and you were hoping to connect regarding a specific question about your student, please email the teacher(s) at any time throughout the semester with your question(s).

2022/2023 Student Learning Survey​

2022/2023 Student Learning Survey – Open to Parents/Guardians/Caregivers

The Provincial Student Learning Survey is unique in its scope, size and usefulness to schools. It gathers information from parents/guardians/caregivers, teachers, and students on topics related to school environment, safety, and achievement. The information is used for planning in individual schools and provides a district and provincial perspective. In addition to our Grade 10 and 12 students this year, we encourage parents/guardians/caregivers to participate in this survey, as the results are important in identifying and celebrating current strengths, as well as determining where the school needs to focus improvement.

The survey can be completed electronically and can be accessed at the Direct Access section of the log in page:  http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sat_survey. The survey can be accessed through the link with or without an anonymous logon code by selecting the school district and school name where your child attends school. Provincial, District and School Reports for previous years can be viewed at the same site under the Results section.

The e-survey site will be open until April 29th, 2023.
