Parent Bulletin – April 4, 2024
Spirit Day
Students and Staff can show their school spirit by wearing something from an extra-curricular activity. This could be a jersey from a sport they play or outfit that represents their favorite activity from dance or gymnastics or martial arts. Maybe you have a medal or trophy to share or music class song to share.
If you do not have a jersey or outfit to wear pick your favourite team colours and wear those to show how you like to watch and cheer on teams like the Whitecaps or Canucks!

NEW Portables and Site Updates
Over spring break our maintenance department has been preparing to place 2 new portables on our site. Next week we may have some disruption on the playground by P9, P7 and P5 as the portables will be placed early next week.
We have also started the process of getting our site prepared for our upcoming build. Many of you have noticed that we have spray paint and painted sticks to indicate some drilling that will occur over the weekend. Please help the students understand that we should not disrupt these sticks.
