Education Week is a celebration of the power of learning and the people who make it possible. Taking place April 13–17, this tradition began in 1928 as Alberta School Week.
Education Week:
- Recognizes how teachers spark curiosity, students inspire growth, and school staff, volunteers and families work together to create places where children flourish.
- Reminds us that learning doesn’t just shape minds; it shapes the future.
During Education Week 2026, public education stakeholders and supporters are invited to participate in the celebration through one or more of the following:
- Organize an in-school lunch for teachers and staff or bring snacks to the school staff room throughout the week.
- Share messages of support through social media.
- Coordinate a morning drop off thank you station where parents and students hand out coffee or tea to teachers and school staff as they enter.
- Create handwritten appreciation cards for family members to share with teachers and school staff.
