PARISH FESTIVAL– SAT. SEPT 10 at 6:00PM
WELCOME BACK INFORMATION NIGHT– THURS. SEPT 15 at 6:30PMDear Families,
We have had a great start to our year! The hallways are filled with laughter and smiles once again and the students and staff are all hard at work. We are all excited for what is to come this year.
The Catholic Independent Schools Vancouver Archdiocese are saddened by the news of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing. In memory of Her Majesty The Queen, CISVA schools are asked to lower their flags to half-mast. Flags will remain at half-mast “until sunset on the day of the memorial service (date to be determined). Flags will only be raised to full-mast on the day the accession of the new King is proclaimed.”
We hope to see you all at the Parish Festival this Saturday and at the Parent Information Night on Thursday. Students are not required to attend the Information Night. If you are unable to attend, please let your child’s teacher know. We will start in the gym at 6:30pm and classroom sessions will start at 7:00pm.
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Maria Fonseca
West Coast Recesses
While we have been enjoying nice weather, it is inevitable that we will start to get rain. We do strive to have outdoor recesses as much as possible. Please ensure your child has good OUTDOOR shoes, a jacket and extra socks in their backpack. This will help keep them comfortable when they come back in. Due to supervision, we must send all students out when it is an outdoor recess.

Wasteless Lunches
We are a “wasteless lunch” community. This means any garbage that comes in lunches, such as wrappers and plastic containers MUST BE TAKEN HOME. We do not have recycling facilities for plastic containers. You can help eliminate the garbage by using reusable lunch containers.
