Hello, Abby Schools community!

We are pleased to introduce you to our new Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Nathan Ngieng. Please enjoy his welcome back message below.

The start of a new school year always brings a sense of energy and possibility. On September 2nd, more than 20,000 students will walk through the doors of our 46 schools, supported by 3,000 staff who are ready to guide, inspire, and celebrate their growth this year. The Abbotsford Board of Education is excited to see what this year will bring for our students-new learning, new friendships, and new opportunities to thrive. 

A heartfelt thank you for all your support throughout the year. Reading at home, helping with homework, volunteering for field trips, grade 5 committees and special events, purchasing hot lunch and popcorn, all contribute to the school community.

A special thank you to our PAC executives who you may see around the school volunteering but also have many behind the scene roles. 

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Pete Nuij as Assistant Superintendent, effective June 16, 2025.

With more than two decades of experience in public education, Pete brings a wealth of knowledge and leadership to his new role. He has served as a teacher, school-based administrator, District Principal, Director of Instruction, and most recently, Associate Superintendent of Education Services with the Vancouver School Board.

Last week was the East Zone intermediate track and field at Rotary Stadium. It was a gorgeous sunny day and students performed proudly with Sandy Hill pride. 

Sandy Hill was recently the birthplace to salmon, butterflies, chicks and ducks! Always a busy place for some fun learning.
