January 12, 2024
Welcome back! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that this new year brings health, happiness, and adventure to all of our families!
Today, your child will bring home an information sheet about Student Inclusive Conferences. This provides you with important facts about the shift in reporting student learning. Student Inclusive Conferences replace the formal report card for Term 2. Therefore, it is essential that all parents attend this Term 2 conference with their child. Please note that Wednesday, March 6, 2024, will be a 2 Hour Early Dismissal and Thursday, March 7, 2024, your child will only attend during their scheduled conference time. In future correspondence, we will be providing you with a link to sign up for a conference time. (Alternative conference times will be made available by teachers in unique circumstances.)
Our Aboriginal Support Worker Carlyn Andres is offering a drumming workshop in the classroom across from the Dance Studio on Wednesdays after school from 2:35pm-3:15pm. Students who participate can be picked up at 3:15pm in the front foyer outside the Office. All are welcome!
If your child will be absent from school for any reason, please remember to let us know either by phone 604-530-3188 or by e-mail at BFAAttendanceVoicemail@sd35.bc.ca
Wishing you a good weekend!
Susanna Eppich, Principal
