Parking and Drop Off/Pick Up
We have very limited parking around the neighbourhood and school grounds. It important for families to understand that parking in spots that are not properly designated as parking could result in a ticket from the City of New Westminster. City by-law officers come frequently to schools to monitor NO PARKING ZONES. (areas of concern are the lane way entrance and the no parking zones around the tennis courts)
The school roundabout is for STUDENT DROP OFF ONLY. Parents are not to park in the roundabout for student drop off. When families use this as parking it causes safety risks to students and decreases the flow of traffic through this space. NO PARKING in the roundabout at the front of the school. Please have students exit the car and parents/guardians move along to keep the flow of traffic safe.
Music Class Winter Performance Schedule
Due to the recent internet problems and access to email we will send out a separate email with times for the upcoming classroom/music class performance schedule during the day. Please look for a separate email with music updates.
Pile Driving
Pile Driving has begun! They have made very good progress in the 3 days of scheduled pile driving. We will keep monitoring for noise and vibration as well as any other concerns around safety during school hours. We are implementing daily changes for safe pathways depending on the type of work that is being completed each day. Families may notice certain areas blocked off for pick up and drop off. Thank you for your patience and understanding during the first few phases of our construction.
