Bonjour BP families:

 

Bravo et félicitations to our student leadership team and students who raised $632 for Kid Sport and Brown Bagging for Kids with their book fair and bake sale! It feels so great to give! 

Please note that the school is closed for winter break and will be inaccessible to students who may need to retrieve any effects. Please remind your students that they should be bringing all they need home with them. 

PowerSchool 

Please note that PowerSchool will be disabled for parent/student viewing starting on December 22, so that teachers can start working on report card marks/comment entry. From this date, if you have any questions about your child's achievement, please contact the teacher.  

French For Parents 

If any parents are interested in learning French (perhaps alongside your child(ren)), please see this link, offered by Chinook Learning. It's a wonderful way to see what your immersion student experiences daily and refresh/build your French vocabulary  https://www.chinooklearningservices.com/ContEd/AdultCourses/French-For-Parents-Level-1.html  

Library Books 

Please make sure that any outstanding library books are returned before Friday. 

Locker Clean-Outs and Lost-and-Found
