School is back in session!

Sorry about being so late in posting. So many things needing to be done come September! Welcome back to all the students and staff! Welcome to all the NEW students and of course, new Principal Mrs. Luporini, and Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Petty ! As many of you know, there is a teach-only job action taking place through-out BC with the Teacher's Union. What this means to us, is that the communication system between the Administration and the staff will be limited. The teachers are still doing what they do best: Teaching Our Children. But any type of communication must be one-on-one. Mass information, such as news letters and lunch orders, must be dealt with individually without the teacher's involvement. That means us. The volunteers at the school... Which also means we need more volunteers! Please call the office if you would like to help out in this capacity. An easy task either first thing in the morning (lunch orders) or last thing of the day when there is a news letter or such) Speaking of news letters.... Did you receive your PAC news letter?? As Planners have not been given out yet, the routine of bringing items home hasn't been re-enforced yet. PAC members handed each child a News Letter this afternoon. In it was information on our Shopping Coupons, the Receipt Race, Family Fun Night, the new FaceBook page, request for Earthquake kits, School Store info (including the need for more volunteers there!) and reminders to Parents of the regular goings on. If you did not receive a news letter, please send your child to the office side window to request one. The Facebook page, as well as this Blog, will also keep you up-to-date. See side panel for up-coming events Also, just a reminder that the first PAC meeting of the year will be September 21st at 7:00. Free babysitting will be provided if needed. Elections will not be until October 19th.
