EXPERIENCE
Beaumont’s Black Gold Family of Schools
INSPIRING SUCCESS
GROWING WITH BEAUMONT
Beaumont’s first public school can be traced back to 1902. In fact, the
current Bellevue school site has been serving generations of Beaumont
students since 1912-1913. As the French farming community expanded,
the public school system grew along with it.
This early map shows Beaumont School District #741.
Beaumont’s first public school dates back over 110 years ago.
Today, Beaumont is one of the fastest growing and youngest communities in the province.
Working closely with families, Black Gold Regional Schools provides the best possible
educational experience for students. By reconfiguring school boundaries and grades, students
will not have to switch schools every year. To accommodate future growth, Black Gold
Regional Schools is awaiting the arrival of École Dansereau Meadows School, a Kindergarten to
Grade Nine school set to open its doors in 2014-2015.
Experience what Black Gold Schools can offer your family:
• Programs ranging from French Immersion and Fine Arts to Career and Technology Studies
and the Beaumont Hockey Academy, just to name a few.
• Inclusive classrooms with dedicated and passionate teachers.
• Leading edge technology and a variety of career options, including many classes transferable
for university credit.
Experience why generations have entrusted Black Gold Regional Schools with their children’s education.

“I am extremely excited to be part of a process of opening a new Black Gold Regional School
in Beaumont. With the last Beaumont public school being opened in September 1995, I realize
how rare and exciting of an occasion this is. I look forward to welcoming the families that will
be associated with École Dansereau Meadows School and to working with our community
partners to develop a safe and caring learning environment for everyone.”

EXPERIENCE: ÉCOLE BEAU MEADOW S
Meet the Kryzanowski family
Did all of your boys attend École Beau Meadow School?
Yes, all of our boys attended Beau Meadow School from day
one. For the past 11 years, at least one of our children has
attended the school. It is like our second home.
What have your experiences been like over 11 years?
When it comes to teachers, I am very particular. Some of
the best teachers I have ever met are from Beau Meadow
School. They just excel in their jobs. You can always pop
in and speak with them and get an update on your child’s
progress.
My youngest child is hearing impaired. Staff has been
supportive and the class has a speaker system. The school
has accommodated him and he loves it here.
Is it true your son loves science more than recess?
My son had an exceptional teacher (Mrs. Thompson). By the
end of the year, he said, “Science is more fun than recess.” I
remember thinking, “Wow, for an active boy that is a pretty
amazing thing to say.”
Is it easy to be involved in the life of the school?
There are lots of volunteer opportunities. You can be on
school council, too. The principal and staff really listen to
the parents. They work closely with the school council and
follow our recommendations on how to make the school
even better.

EXPERIENCE: ÉCOLE BELLEVUE SCHO
Meet the Cooper family
What is the first thing you notice when you walk inside École
Bellevue School?
From the moment you step inside, you notice how inviting the
school is. You are greeted by smiles from students and staff.
The school is full of energy. The skylights cover the school
with bright, natural light and there are plants everywhere that
make the school feel like home.
What do your kids love most about the school?
That’s an easy one. It has to be the new playground. The kids
love spending time there.
How does École Bellevue School compare to other elementary
schools you have experienced?
We have been at the school for three years and it has been
amazing. We moved in from another community and we felt
our kids were a bit behind in subjects like English. Thankfully
the school’s support staff took the time to help my daughter
get caught up. Within two months, she was reading and
writing like the other students in her class.
What makes École Bellevue School special?
Staff not only talk to the parents they really interact with the
kids. It is a fantastic school. I feel confident that the staff who
has been hired are the best teachers in the area.

EXPERIENCE: ÉCOLE J.E. LAPOINTE S
Meet the Munchrath family
What do you like most about J.E. Lapointe?
From the first day, the school has been welcoming and
supportive. We have always felt part of the school’s extended
family.
What does the school offer its students?
There is really something for everyone. Whether it is
academics, sports, or band. My kids have done it all.
J.E. Lapointe gives students so many opportunities to be
involved and feel part of their school.
Tell me about the athletic opportunities at the school?
For this age group, there is a huge range of activities. Athletics
is well promoted at J.E. Lapointe. Students can try a variety
of sports, find the sport that best fits them, and then choose
whether to continue playing in high school.
My daughter Sarah, who has a disability, is given an
opportunity to be involved, too. She is the manager of the
mini-girls basekteball team. If you are willing to work hard and
try hard, everyone finds a place in the athletic program and an
opportunity to participate.
Has the school prepared your children for high school?
Absolutely. My children are ready for high school and beyond.
“What I most love about our École J.E. Lapointe School is that the
teachers genuinely see the uniqueness of every single student and
therefore wonderful relationships grow!” - Marla Tonita, Principal

EXPERIENCE: ÉCOLE COLONIALE EST
Meet the Scriven family
What are the teachers like? How do they interact with families?
The staff work closely together and the entire school feels
like a team. The teachers know the kids by names and know
their siblings, too.
What I admire most about the teachers is that there is no
one-size-fits-all approach to teaching. Each student is treated
as an individual to give them the best education possible. They
seek input from families and work cooperatively with parents
to get the best results inside and outside of the classroom.
How do teachers interact with students?
Teachers challenge their students. They provide extra support
when it is needed. They assign the right amount of homework
for the individual student. This prevents kids from getting
bored or stressed out. They provide a structure and a learning
pace that prepares students for high school.
Talk about the school’s athletic opportunities.
Even though Beaumont is a hockey town, the school provides
other athletic options for kids that don’t play hockey. My son
loves track and field and basketball. Mr. Dellezay (Assistant
Principal) is his basketball coach.
Having an Assistant Principal be a coach is a good thing?
It’s great. Here, Mr. Dellezay is teaching the kids skills,
sportsmanship, and more. He is someone the kids look up
to and respect. They know him more as a person than as an
Assistant Principal.

EXPERIENCE: ÉCOLE SECONDAIRE BEA
Meet the Shute family
Out of six children in the Shute family, four are either attending or
have graduated from École Secondaire Beaumont Composite High
School. What has the experience been like for your children?
Most parents will tell you that no two children are exactly alike.
That’s true in our home, too. What I love about our school is
that it embraces different interests.
How did the school embrace your children’s interests?
Three of my kids have very different interests, but each one is
accepted in the school. When it comes to academics, programs
are available to challenge them through accelerated projects.
For artists, you can perform in drama plays and work on set
designs. If athletics is your passion, you can play a variety of
sports ranging from football, volleyball, and badminton. There is
something for everyone.
Has the school prepared your children for their future?
Absolutely. My oldest is about to graduate with a science
degree from the University of Alberta. My other child is
enrolled in a linguistic program at Trinity Western. I really
believe the accelerated English program, which counts towards
university credits, gave my children an edge.
And what about the school’s music program?
It’s great! The school offers jazz and French band music classes
during lunch. I don’t play any instruments, but I am happy my
kids can learn and experience music.
Would you recommend the school to other families?
You will not find more dedicated teachers and staff. They really
want what is best for your kids. Teachers are accessible through
email or during school. Everyone goes the extra mile for you.
