Good morning families!
Just a reminder that if your students are playing sports after school, they need to go to their designated practice or homework areas immediately. If their practice is at 3:30, they can stay to get ready, either in the gym or waiting in a classroom with a teacher. If they do not have practice until 5pm, they need to leave campus, UNLESS they are staying for the afterschool program. If they stay for the afterschool program, they need to stay with their teacher or go immediately to the library for attendance.
Please remind your students that they are not permitted to wander around the school grounds after 3 pm. They must be either participating in the after school program, or in a supervised, scheduled activity. Thanks for all your help and cooperation!
Big congratulations to Ms. Pede's class today!! In our 4/5 classroom we have 100% attendance today. It may be just one day, but everyday counts!

Good morning everyone!
Just a reminder that there is no afterschool program today, as staff are gone for meetings today. We will resume our regular schedule on Monday!
Tomorrow, September 30th, we join in honoring the National Day of Healing from Boarding Schools, a day dedicated to acknowledging the painful history of Indigenous children who were removed from their families and placed in government and church-run boarding schools. Together, we can honor the resilience of those affected and work towards creating an environment of respect, learning, and growth for all students.

Sharing photos from our assembly yesterday. Students learned and shared in understanding about the U.S. Navy Bombardment apology. They had a chance to explore maps of the impacted villages, learn about the history and impact of the bombardment. They also heard the US Navy Band from the Northwest. Thank you to our students for doing such a great job listening and asking thoughtful questions. Thank you to the parents and community members that shared in the experience.





***Update to earlier post**
Our school team would like to share that Abigail Brown, who offers behavioral health support from SEAHRC, will be available for students during the lunch hours this week. Please let students know that Abigail is available to meet with students.
