Blacklock Blast – March 2, 2022

March 2, 2022

Seven more school days until Spring Break!  Yippee!!!

You may have already received (or will soon receive) information from your child’s classroom teacher in regards to the upcoming Student-Led/Parent-Teacher Conferences and how to sign up.  We look forward to celebrating your child’s learning with you on either Wednesday, March 9, or Thursday, March 10.  Please remember to make arrangements to have your children picked up one hour early as dismissal on these two days will be at 1:35pm.  In preparation for these meetings, please ensure that you have read your child’s report card, which will be published on Friday, March 4.  If you need help accessing the MyED Family Portal, please contact the Office.  We would suggest that you try logging in prior to Friday, as the system is always very slow on that day.

Today, a paper copy of the PAC Newsletter is being sent home with the students.  Please note that there was a date correction regarding the Chipotle Fundraiser.  It is taking place today, March 2, between 4:00pm and 8:00pm.  The Easter Purdy’s Fundraiser is ongoing and orders can be placed online or dropped off with payment at the Office.  Brochures with instructions were sent home a few weeks ago (extras are available at the Office).  Also, being sent home today is a flyer/order form for the Mother’s Day Flowers Fundraiser.  Details about all the fundraisers can be found in the PAC Blast Newsletter.  Thank you for supporting the PAC’s fundraising initiatives to help raise a roof for our Outdoor Classroom.

If your child will be absent from school for any reason, please remember to let us know either by phone 604-530-318 or by e-mail at BFAAttendanceVoicemail@sd35.bc.ca

If you want to receive SchoolMessenger notification text messages in the event of emergencies or urgent communications, you can opt-in by following these instructions here.

For our Grade 4 and 5 families, we’d like to let you know that the Langley Children’s Choir has just started their second term of singing together and new singers from grades 4 – 7 are welcome to try out the choir.  They meet on Tuesdays from 4:30pm-6:00pm at Langley Secondary.  Tuition fee is $100 for the remainder of the year (finishes in May) Please contact pthorpe@sd35.bc.ca for more information.

Have a good weekend!
