You’re invited to our “Meet the People” evening Wednesday Sep 23 from 6:30 – 7:30. There will be time for you to meet your children’s teachers in their classrooms, then come to the gym at the end of the evening to hear our focus for the year.

Why the change in name from “Curriculum Night”? We teach children first, then curriculum. So much of what we do is about building relationships, not only in the classroom but among our community members. There are changes to the BC curriculum that will happen over the next two years – it is an exciting time! We will be learning more about the new curriculum at the Curriculum Implementation Day at Highlands on September 28.

Thank you for your patience with the increased traffic in our area, due to the detours necessary for the Capilano Water Main project. We’re pleased to see so many families walking to school, even on the rainy days we’ve had and we appreciate our flaggers who are keeping our students safe as they cross the road.

We have already had three events hosted by PAC – Welcome Back Tea, Kindergarten Tea and a successful Pizza Night. Thanks to the organizers of all three of these opportunities for families to connect.

On Wednesday, administrators and teacher leaders from the Handsworth Family of Schools will be meeting to make those valuable connections among our schools.

Our Terry Fox Run will be held Friday, September 25 at 1:30. We will be collecting “toonies for Terry” beginning Tuesday September 22. Look for more information on our website www.canyonhts.ca
