Dear Families,
Can you believe it - the first TWA for June!
Thank you to all of our students, teachers and parents who participated in and/or helped in support of our Grade 9 Farewell this year. We wish them all the best as they finish off their final year with us, and transition towards new beginnings at high school.
There are many things happening this month so please be sure to mark your calendars with the Important Dates below.
Kel Connelly and Marla Paxton
Updates this coming week for families are:
Yearbook Orders
Please go to https://ybpay.lifetouch.ca/Order/SelectJob if you would like to order the 2023-24 yearbook. The YBPay Yearbook ID code: 14700824.
Sailing Trip Information
Our Grade 8 parent information night will be on Wednesday, June 19th for all interested families for next year's trip!
School Fees
We have many fees that are outstanding. Please log into your MyCBE Accounts to ensure your child’s fees are up to date. If you have any questions please call our front office for support.
PE Update
Footwear for PE
With the nicer weather comes a change in our students' choice of footwear. We are currently facilitating our Track & Field Module and with that, it is imperative that students are wearing athletic footwear for classes to prevent a multitude of possible injuries. As we move into the final stretch of the school year the Phys Ed team is requesting your support in reminding students to be prepared for class with proper footwear. We thank you in advance!
