We would like to encourage all our students to come skiing next Tuesday (Feb 22). We have extended the deadline to allow info and payment to be turned in tomorrow so more students can join in the fun. It is a great opportunity to try a new sport and/or improve skills with friends. If funds are a concern, please let us know.
The info we need to send to the hill is:
We are looking forward to enjoying outside time with all our students!
As viruses continue to spread in our community, a reminder to please continue the daily health check with your children before they come to school. If they have any symptoms of illness, please keep them home. These include:
– runny nose
– sneezing
– sore throat
– headache
– cough
– loss of appetite
– nausea/vomiting
– diarrhea
– extreme tiredness or fatigue
– difficulty breathing
– fever/chills
– body aches
– loss of sense of smell/taste
We recognize new symptoms may not be noticed in the short time in the morning before they come so if students are showing symptoms at school, we will be asking parents to come pick them up.
If someone has symptoms, please complete the health check questionnaire at bc.thrive.health to know when the student can return to school.
Thank you for your continued support to keep our school community healthy.
Due to slippery roads, we will not be having school today. If you are an elementary student family, please let your teacher know if you do not have a childcare option for today.–
Hello again families,
We’ve had several members of our school community not feel well this week. We appreciate the respect for the health of others we’ve seen by individuals staying home when not healthy. In case you or a member of your family is not well, here is a document to help guide you in decision making.

Top Sellers for our Mom’s Pantry Fundraiser are Charlotte & Rocky Neuman, Audrey Spenst, and Sarah McAfee. Fantastic job achieving top sales!!!! Also a big thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser. We appreciate it!
Dear Families,
It’s been an extra long Christmas break for our students and hopefully everyone is looking forward to returning to school! Our teachers have been busy with plans and paperwork and are happy to return to the teaching aspect of their jobs next week.
With the omicron variant of covid spreading more rapidly throughout our province, we are adding some safety measures at school and renewing other measures to reduce the risk to our students and staff as much as possible, while still being able to learn at school.
Please note the following:
– Limited visitors – guests are limited to those supporting activities that are of direct benefit to student learning and wellbeing. This means hot lunch can continue (with adults wearing masks), but anyone picking up/dropping off children should stay outside the building while doing so. If you need assistance with something, please come ask with reception at the main entrance.
– Daily health check – please continue to check with your children each day that they are healthy. Guidelines to follow can be found here: K-12 Health Check (gov.bc.ca. Please keep children at home if they are sick and follow public health guidelines.
– Mask wearing is mandatory – please continue to send a clean mask with your child(ren) each day. There are exceptions for while eating, during high intensity physical activity and for those who have a psychological, behavioural or health condition.
We have taken measures to further reduce crowding in certain areas and will continue to encourage students to wear masks and clean their hands frequently. Our full updated communicable disease plan will be posted on our website this weekend.
Smile through the last of this cold spell! I’m hopeful the forecast for next week stays true.
Happy weekend!
Mrs. Atherton
Hello Families,As you may have heard, the Ministry of Education announced this afternoon that there will be a delayed start to school for students until January 10. We currently have limited information but will send out updates as we learn more. In the meantime, if you are an essential worker and need childcare for your children during school hours, please email me directly as soon as possible at katherton at peacechristianschool.ca, explain your situation and we will do our best to help.
Despite all this, we hope you are enjoying some (likely inside) activities together as a family and wishing you a happy New Year!
Mrs. Atherton
It was a busy and fun day at school today. Thank you for putting in the extra work at home to make the day special for our students.
This letter came out today and we have been requested to pass it along to our families.
