They take an active role by volunteering as classroom aides, sharing in School Council decision-making, helping with field trips and extra-curricular activities, and supervising homework.

Our Trustee

Linda Wagers

Early in my teaching career I taught at Spruce View School (SVS), and moving into the community in 2001 only deepened my affection for the area. I now live on an acreage surrounded by families of former students, many of whom have children attending SVS. Since becoming a school trustee in 2021, I have thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the school community through various activities, including the Parent Council, community events, concerts, awards, graduation, and fundraising efforts.

As a committed lifelong learner, I have completed the Trustee Governance Program at the University of Calgary. This year-long course significantly enhanced my ability to serve the SVS community effectively. During my first year as a trustee, I also served as Chair of the Transportation Committee, which motivated me to pursue Class 2 training to better understand the division's bussing and transportation needs. I continue to seek out opportunities for professional development to better serve my ward, including taking additional courses and attending relevant events.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to another great year with Spruce View School and our community.
