Partial Return to In-Class Instruction
Beginning Monday, June 1st, many students in our dis-trict will be returning to school on a part-time basis, un-der the direction and approval of the Ministry of Educa-tion and Public Health. Please see below for school schedules, noting that in-class instruction is offered:
Mondays-Thursdays only Drop-off and pick-up times are to be no more than 10 minutes prior and 10 minutes after each session. And, as always, please keep students home if they are ill or show any symptoms of cold, flu, or COVID 19.
Students opting out of in-class instruction will continue to receive support in their learning from home.

PAC NEWS
What does PAC pay for? Swimming and gymnastics lessons, educational programs, art lessons, library books, classroom ma-terials, garden supplies, and special events for all of our 290 students. How does PAC get money to pay for all these things? Some funding is granted to us from BC gaming. Some community groups and businesses donate goods or funds. The rest comes from little fundraisers like the Christmas bake sale and seed orders. Thank you for all of your support! If you would like to receive emails from the PAC, including minutes from meetings, please email [email protected] and we will add you to the list.
