We have an updated website! Still located at www.peacechristianschool.ca, you can now find a calendar with all our school programming on it, as well as copies of all the general notes that are sent home. Our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter feeds, as well as information about our program, policies, and events is there so go check it out!*

Last minute updates on snow days, program changes, etc. will continue to be posted on our Facebook page. These posts now show on the home page of our website so even if you are not following our Facebook page, you can check our website homepage for our last minute updates.

Notes Home

We are now providing an electronic format for notes going home. This includes putting our notes on our new website and sending out email requests to sign-up to receive notes by email. For now, both paper and email copies will be going out.

Today, you will receive an email request to sign-up for the email copies. Please click the “Accept Invitation” button in your email. After clicking this, most people will want to choose the last option of “Follow by email subscription only” (if you are a wordpress user, feel free to sign in with your account). Once you have clicked this, you are finished. Instructions with pictures are also attached to this note. There is an ‘unsubscribe’ button to be easily removed if you decide to do so in the future.

Something to keep in mind: replying to these new emails from our website will not go anywhere. Please direct all inquiries to the regular school email address of peacechristianschool, Dori Shankel, or to our Facebook page.

*If you see our old webpage when going to our web address, try clearing your browser and then going to the page again.

To enhance our P.E. program we will be offering “Swim @ School” swim lessons for Kindergarten to Grade 6. As this opportunity is part of our P.E. program we are anticipating that all students will participate unless there is a medical reason that prohibits them from swimming. Swimming will begin Friday, April 7, 2017 and run on the following dates April 21, 28, May 19 & 26. A total of 5 lessons will be held over this time period. Please remember that modest swimwear is required.

The fee for swimming is $30.00 per student. We require payment to be made by April 5, 2017. If there is a concern please contact Mr. Shankel to consider alternatives.

Your child’s previous progress cards are not required to be returned to the school. New progress cards will be issued by the pool for the “Swim @School” lessons.

We will be bussing students to and from the pool. Parents are welcome to come to the pool to watch their children.

The normal after school shuttle bus routine will remain the same.

Please complete and return the following form along with payment to the school by Wednesday, April 5, 2017.

The minutes from our latest parent committee meeting are now available. You can open them here or view them on our website under “Parent Committee”
