SCHOOL NEWS...
IMPORTANT - Reporting of Student Absences: A friendly reminder for families to ensure that you contact the school Safe Arrival Line at 250- 658-4002 by 8:30 am EACH DAY that your child will be absent from school. Please indicate your child’s first and last name and teacher. Thank you!
Wet Weather Preparedness: As we get more wet weather, families are asked to have their children dressed appropriately to go outside as most days children will go outdoors for their breaks. Rubber boots, waterproof jackets and rain pants are suggested especially if your child likes to play in/near the puddles! A full change of clothes in their backpacks is also helpful should they need to change.
