Student Attendance

As we start this new school year, we want to highlight the importance of regular school attendance. Every day in the classroom is crucial for your child's academic progress and personal development.

Consistent attendance helps students stay engaged, build good habits, and take full advantage of their educational opportunities. Your support ensuring that your child attends on time and consistently is vital for their success.

Thank you and let's make this year a great school year for all our students.

Technology

Friendly reminder that electronic devices such as watches, tablets and phones are to be left at home. All school districts in BC are restricting student use of personal technology. By removing the distractions from digital devices allows students to focus on their education.

This leads to better learning outcomes and helps support their wellbeing and social connections. The office phone is available for students to connect with families during the school day. Thank you for your understanding and support.
