REMINDERS: 

 Helmets and Bike Safety 

• With the warm weather, we are seeing an increase of bicycles coming to school- which we absolutely love! 

• Just a reminder to all families that all students must be wearing a helmet when riding a bike 

• When students arrive to school, they must hop off their bike and walk them to the bike locks 

• This is so increase safety for others and themselves 

• Thank you parents for being mindful of our bike safety 

 Toonies for Terry 

• This week we are collecting Toonies for Terry to help fundraise money for the Terry Fox Foundation 

• Our Terry Fox run is happening on Friday September 25th at 11:00 am. Please have your child dress appropriately as we will be running rain or shine. 

 PAC  

• On Monday September 28th we will be having our first PAC meeting at 7:00 pm in the library 

• We will have babysitters on site if you need childcare in the gym. Please reply to Ms. Bath that you will be attending and are requesting childcare so that we can book the appropriate number of Grade 7’s to help. 

• A reminder that all parents at our school are a member of the PAC and we encourage families to join in on the conversations about fundraising and other events happening around the school 

 Truth and Reconciliation Walk 

• On Tuesday September 29th, we will be having our Truth and Reconciliation Walk at 9:15am. We will be walking through the community, and we encourage our students to wear orange (or a shade of red) on this day. 

• All walking field trip forms must be signed if you want your child to participate in this honourable day 

• Please login to Parent Connect to complete these 

 Lunch Lady 

• If you were part of the lunch lady program last year, we will not have the program up and running for lunches until after September 21 

• We will have some lunches at school for those families that require support until Lunch Lady begins  

• Ms. Brown sent out an email this week with all of the information for Lunch Lady 

 Family Financial Hardship Process 

•  The district is committed to ensuring that no student of school age will be denied an educational program due to financial hardship and that charges will not be a barrier to student participation in school activities.  

• At this time, we are requesting that families reach out to the school principal if you need assistance with school supplies, fees or other school-related costs. As always, all requests will be treated with dignity, and your privacy will be respected.  

•  Please note: Now that the school has food available to students throughout the school day, including a new School Meal Program – Lunch Lady which begins again on September 21, some previous supports such as gift cards will no longer be available to families.  

• We recognize that some families may continue to require additional support. We encourage families to access the community resources available to them, and we are happy to help connect families with appropriate services when needed, including:  

•       Support with food outside of school: https://www.delta.ca/media/2303 

•        Other community support services: https://deltassist.com
