This is a place where we strive to meet the personal learning needs of each individual child. Thank you for sharing the responsibility of your child’s education with us. We look forward to an exciting and activity-filled year working with your child. Together we can create something exceptional.
Our School Name
The name is appropriate in that there are occasions in the spring and late fall when, early in the morning, one can see deer from Fish Creek Park making their way through the community. Deer Run School is the only school in the Deer Run community.

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.

School Improvement Results Report
Our school also prepares a results plan, which looks at our previous school year. It shows our students’ achievement and progress in meeting the goals and outcomes as set out by the CBE and Alberta Education, outlines some of the highlights of our school development plan and gives an overview of our school. You can look on the CBE website for system-wide results.
