It's almost time to send your kids back to school.

 

Western School Division Superintendent Stephen Ross says the division's strength is its competent staff.

 

He says 14 professional staff members were hired over the summer.

 

Ross says some extra support staff will be added before school starts.

 

He says their main focus will be to teach their students to become kids of character.

 

Ross says the division is looking forward to embracing and welcoming the immigrant families moving to the area.
