Student Transitions

Transitions are changes or movement from one stage to another, at significant points in our students’ lives. Transitions can be disruptive at times, and as a result, require the provision of extra care and attention to student needs, which in turn inform the district’s practices and supports.
The Surrey School District is committed to helping students transition from grade-to-grade, school-to-school, to graduation, and beyond. The district examines grade-to-grade transitions with a focus on movement from Gr. 9 to 10, Gr. 10 to 11, and Gr. 11 to 12.
The Research and Evaluation Department supports the district by analyzing and reporting on local and provincial transition data of Surrey students. Our researchers build reports tracking grade-to-grade transition rates, graduation outcomes, and entry into B.C. post-secondary institutions.
This data, reported on by our researchers, are used by the district to inform decision making, assist in developing appropriate instructional strategies, and identify how to best support our students’ successful transitions along their education path.”
