SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 83 (NORTH OKANAGAN-SHUSWAP)
Salmon Arm Urban and Rural Feeder School Reconfiguration Information

October 23, 2025

The reconfiguration of school catchments and grade transitions in the Salmon Arm urban and rural feeder school areas is a strategic initiative designed to reduce barriers for students. This work aligns with our District's Strategic Plan, which prioritizes:

  • Fewer transitions between schools, allowing students to build stronger relationships with peers and staff;
  • Improved sense of belonging, especially for students with diverse abilities, Children and Youth in Care, and Indigenous students; and,
  • Supporting academic success and well-being.

Three-Year Transition Plan (2025-2028)
The reconfiguration transition plan provides a phased approach for moving to a K-7, 8-12 configuration in the Salmon Arm area between 2025 and 2028. It includes timelines for adjustments to catchments and grade configuration.
