Weekly Message - January 13-17

We are back into the routine of school once again after winter break. Things are getting busy as staff finalize report cards and prepare for the term change at the end of the month. Volleyball tryouts are also underway, and classes and extracurricular clubs continue.  

Traffic Safety 

We would like to remind parents to exercise caution when dropping off students in front of the school. We are seeing an increase of illegal U-turns, jaywalking, and blocking traffic. When we choose convenience over safety, we are putting students at risk, and we all have an interest in keeping students safe.  

Please consider dropping your child off away from the front of the school to ease congestion and allow for students to enter the school safely. The school doors open at 7:50am so please ensure they are dressed appropriately for the cold weather if they are coming to school before that time. 

Report Cards 

Report cards are being shared electronically and will be available through MyCBE on January 27.  

School Council Meeting 

All parents are invited to our next Council Meeting on Wednesday, January 15, at 6:30pm in the Learning Commons.
