Steps to Address Questions and/or Concerns

The Wiikwemkoong Board of Education (WBE) and all our schools want to hear your questions and concerns regarding your child, and we always make every effort to address them as quickly as possible. Below is the best way to contact us, who you should reach out to, and when.

In almost all situations, your child’s classroom teacher is the first point of contact, followed by the school’s principal/program manager, the systems principal, the Director of Education, and finally your WBE Committee member. If it is a transportation issue please call the transportation manager at 705-859-2233.
