It was nice to see all the students and staff reconnecting and preparing for a great school year. We have our Kindergarten students joining us full time on Monday which is always a highlight for families and staff. We have Terry Fox around the corner and a new Pro-D day on Sept 21st. Ms. Tozer has sent a couple of emails regarding school supplies and our safe arrival system. Please make sure to take a look for them.
Terry Fox Run September 18th 1pm. Students will have a brief assembly to share about Terry Fox followed by primary students running the inside field and intermediates running around the outside of the property. Bring a Toonie for Terry if you can, we will collect them in the office starting Monday Sept. 14
September 21st is a district wide professional learning day. There is no school for students. October 23, February 26, April 19, and May 21st are the other Pro-D Days.
September 24, 2026 Open House From 2-2:30. Classes will open their doors and welcome families. Please come in and let your student give you an amazing tour of their learning spaces.
Accessible Parking and General Parking at Courtenay El.: We only have 2 spaces in the staff lot for accessible parking. If you do not have an accessible pass do not use those spaces. Others need them. We are a community that needs to support each other. And Yes, there is a staff lot. The section between the Sea Can and the school is reserved for Teachers. We have teachers that often attend meetings off site and need to have the space to get to class on time.
From the Community Schools:
