Warmly,

Mrs. Atherton

Verse of the Week – Mark 16:6

"The angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body."

This verse reminds us that hope rises, even from the darkest places. May this bring you peace and comfort this weekend and ongoing!

Hello Families,

There are no busses today, Thursday April 2. Because of this, we will not have regular classes. However, there are still learning expectations for the day. There will be at least some teachers and staff at school so if you have a ride for your children, they are welcome at school today.

Learning expectations will be posted on the same document links as used last time. A reminder email with the links will be sent out to parents and students Gr 7-12. The documents will be updated as soon as possible through the early part of the morning.

Thank you for doing your best to ensure learning still happens even with the transportation change.

Our ski day ended early due to an issue with the t-bar at the hill so the bus will be arriving at the IGA parking lot about 3:30 pm this afternoon. Our apologies for the change and our thanks for your understanding.

Hello Families,

Spring break is drawing near and the weather is trying to make us think it’s spring too (just don’t look at the forecast). We will do our best to make the last week of learning before the break count well! Enjoy the warmer weather for the weekend and we’ll see everyone back on Monday!

Verse of the Week – Psalm 23:1-3

"The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name."

Dear Families,

Letter of Support from Minister Beare.pdf

Good morning, Families,

Due to blowing snow, there are no busses today. Each school day is important for learning so there are still learning activities that are important to accomplish today. We understand that it can be difficult to accomplish this at home or to care for your children if you are working. If you would like to drive your child(ren) to school, please let your homeroom teacher know (or text the school if needed), and there will be a staff member to help supervise them. Teachers are also available for support, in person (for some), by email, or by Zoom.

Please let us know how we can support your child’s learning needs today.

Take care out there!
Kristin
