The Weekly April 20 to April 24 2026
We are now launched into the last term. A heads up that our grade 4/5s will be using the parking lot on Wednesday April 29th for a Bike Safety course. The parking lot will be closed for all vehicles at that time. Also, a reminder not to make U-Turns on McPhee after drop off and pick up, it is a busy road and the U-Turns can be very unexpected. A big congratulation to our three competitors that did a fantastic job at the district spelling bee on Thursday. Well done!
If you know your student will be leaving Courtenay EL for the 2026-2027 school year please let the office know sooner rather than later. Courtenay@sd71.bc.ca

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.
