A Fresh Look for Our School Websites

We’re excited to launch a new family of school websites designed to better serve students, families, staff, and our communities. The redesign reflects the Sooke School District’s Strategic Plan by improving access to information, strengthening communication, and creating a more welcoming and inclusive digital experience for everyone. Whether you’re looking for school news, calendars, learning resources, or important contacts, the new websites make it easier to find what you need—anytime, on any device.

The new school websites feature:

  • Improved accessibility that aligns with WCAG standards, making information easier for everyone to access.
  • Mobile-responsive design for families accessing information on phones and tablets.
  • Consistent navigation across all district school websites.
  • Faster access to bell schedules, MyEducation BC, online consent forms, and information on reporting student absences.
  • Enhanced translation features to better support our diverse school communities.
  • Streamlined content management, enabling schools to keep information accurate and up to date.

While the refreshed design is the most visible change, one of the most significant improvements happens behind the scenes. The websites have been migrated to a secure, cloud-hosted platform, providing enhanced reliability, resilience, and cybersecurity. This modern infrastructure includes enterprise-grade security, automated updates, resilient backups, and improved disaster recovery, helping ensure school information remains available and protected. By investing in a secure and sustainable digital platform, the District is supporting its Strategic Plan while providing families, students, and staff with dependable access to important information.

These new websites are part of the District's ongoing commitment to making it easier for families, students, and staff to find information, stay connected, and access the services they need.
