End of Year Note

Hi Families,

Remember us? 😀 School is mostly empty but there are still a few of us accomplishing tasks during the summer months to ensure a good September start. It’s peaceful but oddly quiet.

We said some hard goodbyes last week but will be saying some new hellos this summer and September so we are looking forward to that. Until then, enjoy your summer and the beautiful warm weather after a great rain!

Take care,
Mrs. Atherton

Looking Ahead

  • Thu Aug 29 – Orientation Day for all students
  • Tue Sep 3 – First day of school

To Do

  • Spend time with your kids doing activities you all love
  • Encourage your child to read and practice some math facts over the summer so thing don’t get too fuzzy by September
  • K to Gr 3 Families – we encourage you to take advantage of the $1200 Training & Education Savings Program Grant
  • Buy school related items before the start of next year:
    • All students need indoor shoes and a water bottle
    • Elementary students who cannot yet tie shoes need non-lace up shoes for safety reasons
    • Gr 7-12 student supply list
    • If your family is struggling to make ends meet at the moment and could use support to buy indoor shoes (or upper grade school supplies), feel free to text the school (or ask at orientation) and we can assist with the BC Family Affordability Fund

Good to Know

Shout Outs

  • To Mrs. Neumann for supporting our year end meal for students and staff (and sharing the leftovers at lake day!)
  • To Mr. Bunker (Sr & Jr) for supporting our field trip to Dawson Creek. Student feedback was overall positive and would like more time for activities there.
  • To all the parents, family and friends that showed up to graduation, awards, and lake day. Our students and staff felt supported.
