Our last weekly for the second term. Wishing everyone well over spring break. Please check out the updated activities for term 3 at the end of the message.

Safe and Active Schools Survey: The Courtenay Elementary School Community Survey is now live and ready to share. The survey helps us gather clear input from families and caregivers on:
- Current barriers and concerns (routes, crossings, congestion, comfort levels, etc.)
- Which proposed interventions the community wants prioritized
- Any other additional ideas we may have missed
- The school community survey runs from March 9th until April 9th, 2026.

Accessible and 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. Also, please do not to park between the red cones (bus zone) or in the staff portion of the parking lot before or after school. There is a small lot for parents beside the alley, before entering the main staff area.
