Our Weekly Oct. 11

October 11, 2024

Dear Black Bear Families,

The chill of Fall was in the air, but that didn’t stop our Cross Country Runners in our Community Fun Run! We are so thankful for the staff and community members who helped to make this event possible. This is a long weekend and as always we hope that our Black Bears get out to enjoy our great outdoors, the forests, beaches, and play fields. We are so thankful for all of our families and we value all that you bring to our school community. 

• Next week we participate in the Great Shake Out and will practice an earthquake drill on Thursday. Our Grade 4s and 5s will also participate in the Student Vote and mark their ballots for the provincial election.
• We are happy to welcome Ms. Shea to our wonderful team. She will be able to help you in the front office. Ms. Shea’s email is ashea@sd62.bc.ca or call on our phone at 250-642-0500.
• When your Black Bear is going to be late or away please email us at poirierattendance@sd62.bc.ca. You can include the classroom teacher as well. Please do not use this email for any other communication. Thank you.
• Please remember to check in at the office whenever you come to our school even if you have an appointment with a staff. Thank you for helping us to know who is in our school. 
• Don’t forget to download our app using this QR code. Ms. Shea will keep the calendar updated on the app. You also get engaging information like this!
