Dear Parents/Guardians:
Thank you so much to all the parents that came to the Gym yesterday to pick up their students’ supplies. Thank you for your cooperation and it seemed to go smoothly. We really appreciate your efforts.
For those parents who were unable to come yesterday, you are able to come to the front entrance of the school. The door will be locked, we will come and let you in the building, and you can go down to the gym, where tables are set up by division and there will be a bag with your students name on it. A reminder that Division 12, Paddi Ross’ class do not need to come as she is communicating electronically.
You will be able to do this today until 1:00 pm and then Wednesday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm and Thursday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Friday is a statutory holiday for Good Friday.
Be safe and take care of yourselves and one another.

Dear Families:
I hope you are all doing well as we make our way through these challenging times. I know these are stressful times that have caused a great deal of uncertainty. Please take the time to care for yourselves and loved ones. Unwind through activities you enjoy, focus on calming strategies and feeling gratitude for the positive we have in our lives. Take breaks from listening to news stories, including social media. Take deep breaths, stretch, and go outside to enjoy the amazing city we live in. I have included links to support your family’s social-emotional well-being:

In addition, you can find updated information with frequently asked questions and answers, ways to keep yourself and family safe and the BC COVID -19 Symptom Self-Assessment Tool at https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-feature/coronavirus-disease-covid-19
Remember to use social distancing, stay at home and wash your hands regularly so that we may all stay safe.
Take care and stay healthy. Please say hi to your children for us.
