Good afternoon everyone,
Please find our most recent FAQs document (April 27, #3). Our desire is to keep our community informed as best we can in such a period of uncertainty. Thank you for your ongoing prayer and words of encouragement and appreciation for the work our staff is doing to support your families. We are hearing very good things throughout the central Fraser Valley about the efforts of LCS to serve families, keep learning moving forward and to impact our community. There are no doubt challenges and hiccups, but when they occur we invite you to let us know so we can adjust, adapt and modify as the situation requires.
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL ANNOUNCEMENT
As you know, Val Jarvie began the 2019-20 school year serving in the role of interim principal. We posted this position prior to spring break and initiated a Canada-wide search for a new high school principal. This posting closed on March 13 and we screened several applicants, including Mrs. Jarvie's application.
From our perspective as the LCS board, Val Jarvie has performed her role as the key learning leader at the High School with the utmost courage, integrity and professionalism. Moreover, she has our complete trust in her judgment and competency as a school leader and has done much, especially during this current crisis, to communicate a posture of calm direction and decisive action necessary to navigate these times. We feel she represents what schools of excellence should look for in the 21st century school principal: instructional expertise, a passion for learning, empathy, humility, superior communication skills and a high degree of relational and organizational capacity.
For these reasons, after screening our pool of interested applicants, I was pleased to recommend Val Jarvie as the successful applicant to the position of high school principal. We are blessed to have the ideal candidate in place already for such a challenging but important role.
Please join us in congratulating Val as we confirm her appointment as the High School Principal at Langley Christian School. We pray her leadership will continue to inspire and guide our school.
Adam Woelders, LCS Head of Schools
