Thank you for connecting with our teachers yesterday. We appreciate the time given by our parent community to participate in our Safe and Active schools parent walk. We will be doing quick surveys regarding how students get to school all next week and asking families to do the same shortly. We are moving forward with our Nature Learning grant if you have time please fill out the student created survey. Family Survey about the new Courtenay Elementary Nature Playground – Fill out form

Family Movie Night: PAC is hosting a family movie night Nov. 28th from 6-8pm. Unlike the Halloween Dance, movie night is a time to chill relax and enjoy a quiet night, like the dance, families must accompany and supervise their kiddos. Popcorn and drinks will be available to purchase before the movie. Feel free to bring blankets/pillows wear your festive sweaters or jammies to make it all cozy and enjoy the latest Grinch animated movie.
