About Sioux Mountain Public School

Mission Statement

We are a 21st Century school in which students have the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to be successful now and into the future. Our school offers a technologically-advanced learning environment where students focus on developing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.  We recognize that excellence in sports provides students with the many skills that can enhance their academic achievement. 
Technical Information

All schools in this district (Keewatin Patricia District School Board) have converted classrooms into a hybrid learning environment. As you will see in the picture, the camera is placed at the back ceiling of the classroom. This district uses this hybrid system and the SMART boards to connect to virtual sessions. This means that the microphones are not easily accessible so it can be difficult to hear the students. Asking the teacher to relay students comments is very helpful in this situation.
