Student Absences

Parents are asked to please report student absences before 8:30 am on the day of the absence (you can also report absences in advance, if they are known).

To report an absence you may choose to: 

call the toll free # 1-844-350-2647 until 9a or our school line at 250-579-9271 until 3:30p

or you can go to the website: https://go.schoolmessenger.com/#/home

Please choose the reason for your child's absence from school: sick, appointment, family vacation, etc. Be sure to wait for the confirmation number to ensure your child's absence has been recorded. A registration email will be sent to parents in advance. 

Students leaving school during class or arriving late in the morning must sign in/out in the office.  Parents will receive phone notifications through the computerized system for unexcused absences. Students who are going away for an extended period of time are asked to fill out a Planned Absence Form (available in the office).

House Challenge

HOUSES!

We are pleased to be running House Teams again this year!

House teams are designed to bring students together to promote good citizenship and school spirit.  

Each student is on one of the eight teams based on their A Block Teacher. 

Each team is represented by 8 different colours/animals and are encouraged to wear their house colours on Mondays and special events. 

Grade 8 students will get to wear a house shirt during special events and activities if they sign up to participate.  House shirts must be returned after the event undamaged or students will be charged a replacement fee to their school cash online account.
