Some of the grade 4’s and 5’s participated in an ‘egg drop’ today.  The goal was to build a creation that protected an egg when dropped from a height.  What a great event it was.  

PAC is hosting a Bottle Drive April 24th 11:00am-3:00pm in the front of the school. Just drive through the roundabout and drop them off.

Collect your bottles and tell your friends!

The PAC is looking for volunteers – if you can spare an hour please sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/4PT83?fbclid=IwAR1obswZJp3nDijmnraIhGWudIPtYR6LzqlNkguTB4HKCkZQWFdybUlbkGc 

Class photos will take place Wednesday April 6th. Bring your smiles 🙂

Have a wonderful Spring Break – from March 19 to April 3.  First day back is April 4th.

On April 24th our PAC will be holding a bottle drive in our front parking lot from 11-3.   All funds from this fundraiser come back to the school to pay for things like computers, playgrounds, support field trips, the Earthquake kiosk,  classrooms and many others.  Volunteers are needed and a sign up will be available soon.  Go to our PAC’s Facebook page for more info.

With all the tumultuous times going on in the world,  here is a wonderful resource to look at.

Hearts and mind online

Bus registration for current students is now open (Tuesday, March 1, 2022). We ask that all returning student riders complete their bus registration as soon as possible.

Fees for the 2022/2023 school year include:

• A $25 safety fee per rider (due when the fee is attached to your School Cash Online account);
• A $100 late registration fee per family (registrations received after August 31).

The SD62 Transportation Policy is currently under review and eligibility of out of catchment riders may be affected. The final Transportation Policy will be approved in late April 2022 after which time, the eligibility for any out of catchment student riders will be determined and you will be notified if your student is not eligible for transportation services. We thank you for your patience. Please watch your email for a notice on how to submit your feedback to the SD62 Board of Education on our draft Transportation Policy later this week.

How to Register

1. Visit Online Consent Portal (to find PEN or pupil number and sign consent if you do not have a School Cash Online account)
2. Register for the school bus (link will be live March 1 at 8 a.m.)
3. Submit $25 fee per rider in School Cash Online (when it appears in your account)

We recommend registering using a computer – not a mobile device.

Visit the Transportation page on our website for complete information, including specific information for:

• Parents without a School Cash Online account; and
• Parents with newly registered students.

Sincerely,

SD62 Transportation

With the accumulation of snow last night and road conditions as they are,  all schools in SD 62 will be closed today.  Stay warm and safe.
