Grey Mountain Primary School
Welcome to Grey Mountain Primary School
Learning, playing, and working within the traditional territories of Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta'an Kwäch’än Council
School Growth Plan
-
Literacy
Literacy skills will improve, using the science of reading - a research based approach that explains how the brain learns to read.
GMP will follow the FNSB Literacy Strategic Plan consisting of 90 minutes of literacy and smaller-group intervention, as needed.
-
Numeracy
The main objective is to improve outcomes in Math. This means our students are engaged in their math lessons, both inside and outside of the classroom, and they can reach their learning goals.
-
Whole child
We situate the whole child as the foundation for our work as a school. A developmentally responsive approach is used in our interactions with each other. We value the whole child, and their family; their social, emotional, spiritual, academic and physical self. We honour children and their families and strive to ensure that we build community in our context. We value an understanding of our positionality within the school context, and in relationship to the land. Through reflective conversations, educators examine what they are bringing into interactions with students, and how this impacts their ability to respond to students’ needs.
-
Land & Language
We are working in collaboration with FNSB to include a First Nations worldview for all Learners. This will include prioritizing Southern Tutchone, seeking partnership to build an outdoor learning space, and increasing engagement from families in school activities.

A word from our Principal
Welcome to the Grey Mountain Primary School website! Thanks for visiting.
We acknowledge that we learn, play, and work on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dun First Nation and Ta'an Kwach'an Council. What a beautiful setting that we are nestled in! The perfect environment for our children to grow, develop, and belong.
We are thrilled to be one of 11 Yukon schools under the authority of the First Nation School Board as of August 2022! This is truly a historic occasion in the history of Education in the Yukon!
We are proud to be a primary school, specializing in Kindergarten through Grade 3 activities focusing on foundational literacy and numeracy principles. Our school motto, "Respect, Responsibility and Reaching for Our Best" reflects who we are. Students and staff are always encouraged and expected to treat each other with respect. Together we are growing and learning and reaching for our best.
Here at Grey Mountain Primary School, students enjoy a balanced curriculum which includes land-based activities, academics, structured literacy based on the Science of Reading, arts, physical education and personal/social development. Students are supported in their learning through caring educators.
The primary years of a child's experience in education will set the tone for future learning. At Grey Mountain Primary we are able to focus on strong academics as well as healthy personal growth which gives students the tools for lifelong learning and future success.

Grey Mountain Primary sings - We Are A Circle!
Watch and listen here!
Lyrics:
We are a circle, all connected
To each other, on this land
We are Grey Mountain; We’re the Yukon River
With every creature; Hand in hand
Ta’an Kwach’an Council; Kwanlin Dun First Nation
We say Thank You; You share your land
Shä̀w níthän and Kwä̀nä̀schis (3 times)
We are a circle (3 times)
