The Weekly June 1 to June 5 2026
A reminder about Bike to work/school day on the morning of June 5th, yes next Friday. We will have a separate email regarding Beach Day coming out early next week outlining the day and the dos and don’ts. Lastly, our friendship forest is having a revitalization. The cedars that were planted have mostly died and are being replaced with tress better suited for the space. Thank you for working with us as we navigate to complex but unrelated issues this week.

From The Community School Society:
June is also a time for field trips and other fun class activities. Please be on the lookout for emails from the school and order lunch accordingly.
The school will be celebrating National Indigenous People’s Day on June 18. We will be doing a special lunch. The menu for that day will be salmon! If your child doesn’t like fish or is allergic to it, please do not order lunch for this day and pack a lunch for your child. It should be a fun day!
You can find all the details on the community school society website:https://cecss.org/hot-lunch/
or on social media.
School District News:
Comox Valley RCMP is reminding families that gas-powered dirt bikes and high-powered e-dirt bikes are not street legal and are not permitted on school grounds or for travel to and from school.
Schools across the Comox Valley have seen an increase in students riding these vehicles in unsafe ways near schools, neighbourhoods, roads and pathways. In some cases, students may not realize that e-dirt bikes are treated similarly to gas-powered dirt bikes under the BC Motor Vehicle Act and are subject to significant fines, vehicle impoundment and other penalties.
Comox Valley Schools is asking parents and caregivers to please ensure children are not riding dirt bikes or e-dirt bikes to school or on school property. These vehicles create serious safety concerns for riders, pedestrians, cyclists and other students.
We appreciate families working with us and local RCMP to help keep school communities safe for everyone.

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.
