Vision

The Fruitvale District School Board, staff members, and parents are committed to providing high- quality programs and ongoing instructional improvement.

For Parents

Welcome to our school! We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. You will find that the site works just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop so you can find information on the go.
