Parking for people with disabilities

We need everyone to be mindful of the blue parking spot in the drop off area for anyone with disability.  At no time should anyone other than a person with disability park on this spot.  Also, please slow down and wait for people with disabilities to enter and leave their vehicle.  Your patience and understanding is very much appreciated especially during the busy drop off and pick up times.

Seismic project begins in March

We are glad to let you know that seismic project work is finally getting underway!  The ground preparation will begin on the back field in the first week of March.  The area will be enclosed by a blue fence and off limits to students and public.  The preparation and drilling of the ground will take about 4 weeks in March.  The field will then rest for about 5 months. 

Construction of the foundation will begin as planned in September of 2025.  This is exciting news for our school as the project is officially getting started!

Hold and Secure drill on Wednesday, February 19^th at 11:45 am

Hold and Secure is called in a situation that occurs outside the school building, for example a coyote has been sighted or a robbery happens nearby.  In this case, the exterior doors are locked until the situation outside is resolved and safe.  The exterior doors are monitored to allow students and staff to enter. Once inside, no one leaves the building. Our school activities and learning inside the school continue as usual.

Exciting News from the Library

The Scholastic Book Fair will be starting on February 24 and run until February 27^th.

Stay tuned to hear when your child’s class will be visiting. The Fair will also be open to families on Wednesday February 26 from 12:00 to 5:30.

If there are any parents who would be interested in helping at the Fair, please reach out to Mrs. Hikida at mhikida@sd38.bc.ca.
