Hello Families,

We are in our final push to get learning goals accomplished. Preparation for report cards and the final days of school is well under way. It’s always a busy but also exciting time. Our graduates are finishing their studies and preparing for their big day and we look forward to celebrating them soon!

Please reach out if you have final questions before the end of the school year. We will be reaching out to those who have not yet let us know if they are returning in September, for our final planning purposes. Re-enroll before June 30 to save $50/student.

Wishing you a great weekend,
Mrs. Atherton

Dear Families,

On Saturday, a tragic incident occurred at the Lapu Lapu celebrations in Vancouver. Our hearts go out to all those directly impacted by this tragedy and to our Filipino community. We are here to care for and support our students and families and we want to ensure that we help as we are able. Our flag is at half mast to mark the tragic deaths that occurred.

Please let us know if you need support for your children or family. Attached is a letter from the Ministry of Education and Child Care and Safer Schools Together which may help your children in processing this information and with additional resources for support.

Praying for comfort for all those impacted,
