Windebank Elementary School
Welcome to Windebank Elementary School, located in beautiful Mission, British Columbia, Canada. Our students range in age from Kindergarten through Grade Seven. Our school offers a variety of experiences for students in the area of sports, music, and creative thinking.
Windebank Elementary School was officially opened on June 15, 1967 and was named in honour of William J. Windebank, the first mayor of Mission City. Today's building was opened on May 30, 1995.
Here you will find information relevant for parents and students of Windebank. Please have a look around to learn more about our school's philosophy and expectations. Check back often for new updates.

Literacy In Mission
"Literacy arouses hopes, not only in society as a whole but also in the individual who is striving for fulfillment, happiness and personal benefit by learning how to read and write. Literacy ...means far more than learning how to read and write...The aim is to transmit knowledge and promote social participation."
UNESCO Institute for Education, Hamburg, Germany

*******Windebank Goes Peanut Aware***********
Windebank now has students who have a serious allergy to peanuts, know as Anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that can be life threatening. Food is the most common cause of anaphylaxis, but insect stings, medicine, latex, or exercise can also cause a reaction. None of us want to see any of our students in this serious, life-threatening situation. As such we are making Windebank a “Peanut Aware Zone” starting in September 2010. Please help us keep our school safe for all students by following these simple rules:
1. do not send or bring any peanuts or peanut products into the school
2. if you or your child eats peanut butter before coming to school please make sure hands and
face are washed.
3. do not share any food at school.

It is also a collection of print (BC HealthGuide handbook and HealthLinkBC Files), and telephone resources, which put both services and health information into the hands of BC residents.
