Dear PCS families,

This year the parent committee is covering the cost of 1 yearbook per family. If you would like to order additional yearbooks so that each of your children can have their own copy, please email your order request to pac.

Please let us know how many extra yearbooks you would like and send the money for them by Friday, May 5th. The cost per yearbook is $25. We will accept e-transfer, cheque, or cash. Cheques can be made out to “PCS Parent Committee” and e-transfers can be sent to pac@ peacechristianschool.ca. Thank you!

We look forward to getting the yearbook printed and in the hands of our students.

A note that we do have school on May 1. SD 59 does not have school so there will be no bussing to Chetwynd but we will have a shuttle bus from Windrem to PCS and back at the end of the day. Parents of K-Gr 6 students need to pick up children from the Rec Centre after their swimming lessons at 2:35. Have a great weekend!

Hello Families,

April has sped by and is coming to a close. We enjoyed a puppet presentation during our chapel this morning so a big thank you to our Gr 9 & 10 students for their work to put it together with Pastor Neil.

Registration for Next Year: This Monday, May 1 will be the last day for the discounted cost for registering. For the next few days the cost is:
– K-Gr 5: $295
– Gr 6-9: $340
– Gr 10-12: $375

Swimming: A reminder for K – Gr 6 to bring swimwear on Monday for their swimming lessons every Mon/Wed/Fri for the next three weeks. Pickup will be at the Rec Centre at the end of the day.

Grad Planning Meetings: We are inviting our Gr 9 – 11 students and parents to meet with us for graduation and post-secondary planning. Please watch for an email regarding specifics.

Questions? Concerns? Reach out and let us know! We like to know about things we can address.

Our senior football team is off to play this weekend so we hope and pray for a safe and fun weekend for them! There are beautiful weather days predicted so we wish upon each of you sunshine and time spent outside enjoying God’s creation together.

Warmly,
Kristin

Hello Families,

We hope you had a great spring break and that you are enjoying the weather forecast as much as we are! Here are a few notes for this week:

Field Trip to Horse Barn: Yesterday a permission slip went home with elementary students (and a few more) regarding our fun barn session next Friday. Please return it by tomorrow if at all possible and by Thursday at the latest so appropriate arrangements can be made.

No School Fri & Mon: A reminder that there is no school on Friday, April 7 and Monday, April 10 for Easter weekend. The miracle of the season gives us reason to celebrate and we are thankful to have time off of school to do so.

Canadian Achievement Tests: Next week and the following week, our Gr 3-9 students will be participating in the Canadian Achievement Tests (CAT). These tests measure aspects of their reading, writing and math skills. We encourage you to do your best to ensure your child attends regularly, gets enough sleep, and eats breakfast. We want each child to do their best to accurately reflect their skills to themselves, to you and to us. We use these tests to help guide our program planning for classes, as well as individual students.

Gr 12 Literacy Assessment: Our Literacy 12 assessment date moved to Wed April 26th instead of the 25th. This is a graduation requirement.

May God bless you with faith and family this Easter!

Mrs. Atherton

Hello Families,

Tomorrow is the last day before spring break and we are excited for the sunshine showing itself today. We know the mud is coming but along with that the new life of spring. Our staff take that as a reminder that God wants to give each of us a new life 🙂 An exciting time of year.

Report cards are going home with students tomorrow. Below is a reminder of the provincial grading scale that we are moving toward (implemented with many grades already). Please contact the teacher if you have any questions about the report card.

	Emerging	Developing	Proficient	Extending
Proficiency Scale	The student demonstrates an initial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.	The student demonstrates a partial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.	The student demonstrates a complete understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.	The student demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.

We also have a few lost and found items not claimed. Please contact the school immediately if you recognize any of the items as the ones remaining will be given away during spring break.

A reminder that all our students will be going to the Rec Centre tomorrow after lunch for skating. Please ensure to bring skates and helmets if possible. Those not participating can stay in the stands or be picked up early. Otherwise pickup is at 2:30 at the Rec Centre.

We are wishing each one a restful spring break and that all will come back refreshed for the last term of the year 🙂

Warmly,
Mrs. Atherton

Hello Families,

A reminder that we are having our school wide ski trip this Friday. As it is a school day, learning assignments will be given to those students who are not coming to Powder King. We encourage our parents to facilitate students in getting their work done at home on Friday as staff will be at Powder King.

For those going to Powder King, our bus will drive students out to PCS at the regular time and then those at school will join on the bus to go to Powder King. We will be there for the full day, returning to the IGA parking lot about 6 pm.

And if you’re seeing this in time, a reminder that it’s 1:30 pm dismissal today and tomorrow.

Happy rest of the week!
Mrs. Atherton
