Scenic Acres School, Home of the Wolves, is named after the community it resides in and opened Aug. 30, 2001. The school sits on Treaty 7 territory and boasts one of the best views in the world with unbelievable vistas of the Rocky Mountains to the west. The school consists of 8 classrooms, a library, and a gymnasium which was added in 2004.
All students in the school receive music programming provided by a specialist, and daily physical education. Our School also offers a Lunch Supervision Services program for students in Grades 1-5. School Council and the Scenic Acres School Enhancement Society (SASES) supported the purchase of a new playground in 2003, and more recently SmartBoards and computers for each classroom, as well as two computer carts on wheels.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.
