Oyama Traditional School is a public elementary school in Oyama, British Columbia, Canada, part of School District 23 Central Okanagan.

History

Oyama Traditional is centrally located in Oyama, one of the four wards within the District of Lake Country. Oyama is a rural and agricultural area (fruit trees and cattle). Many professionals choose to make Oyama their home base because of the quality of life and the areas proximity to the larger centres of Vernon and Kelowna.

The majority of children attending Oyama Traditional live in single-family dwellings. During the fall of 2001 the District of Lake Country redesigned the community sector plan to accommodate more housing development, thus potentially producing greater school enrollment.

Since 1913, the school and the Oyama Community Club have worked to provide the school with a venue for pageants, concerts, fundraisers, and community/school meetings. In turn, the school PAC participates in the annual Oyama Fun Day hosted by the Community Club. The school has received equipment donated by the Community Club from funds raised through activities. The PAC and school have loaned audio-visual equipment to the Community Club for community events. There are announcements in the school and community newsletters promoting each other’s events, as well as a central bulletin board at the school for posting community events. The school benefits annually from over 100 parent and community volunteers assisting with school teams, sports days, field trips, school concerts and the One-to-One reading program.

It was determined through surveys and public information meetings that with its history, family involvement, and school support, the change to Traditional in Oyama should be made.

chool support programs

Learning Assistance Teacher

In consultation with classroom teachers, the Learning Assistance teacher provides help for students with learning difficulties. Math and Language Arts are the main focus on the Learning Assistance program. Students experiencing severe learning difficulties, usually in reading, listening, writing, or math, will receive additional attention and will have Individual Education Plans (or IEPs) prepared after discussion among the Learning Assistance Teacher, classroom teacher and parents. Besides strategies for improving learning, the IEP may also contain strategies for assisting in the students’ emotional and social development, as difficulties with schoolwork often lead to stress for the student. IEPs may also be written for a student who is not being challenged academically by the regular school program. This may include extra work with the Learning Assistant teacher during the school day.

The Learning Assistant Teacher may also recommend that a Psycho-Educational Assessment be completed by a School District Psychologist. This assessment determines learning strengths and weaknesses and suggests strategies that the teacher can use in the classroom to help the student reach his/her potential.

A Teacher-Librarian is available in school one day a week, working with classroom teachers, supporting classroom programs and teaching library and research skills.
