November 9-13

 Chères familles de l’école Cliff Drive,

We are wishing all families a Happy Diwali! We hope this year’s Diwali illuminates your heart and homes with friendship and togetherness.

Remembrance Day

On Remembrance Day we honour those who sacrificed their lives so that we can live as we do today in Canada. By remembering, we pay tribute to all the men and women that served to defend our values and freedoms. We also honour those who continue to serve our country today.  On Tuesday, November 10^th Cliff Drive will be holding a Remembrance Day Assembly in the gym. Some classes have signed up to present poems and songs to help us all better understand and appreciate Remembrance Day and its significance. We will also have a wreath laying ceremony complete with two minutes of silence. Throughout the week, we will be accepting donations for the Poppy Campaign. Students who would like to donate can give the contribution to their teacher.

Donations can also be made online to The Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command Poppy Trust Fund. https://www.legion.ca/donations

School Volunteers – Forms and Criminal Record Checks

Are you volunteering at our school this year? If so, please visit the school district’s new Volunteering webpage (Volunteering – Delta School District) and ensure you have completed all required steps, including obtaining a current Criminal Record Check (CRC). As required by law, Criminal Record Checks must be renewed at least every five years. We appreciate your understanding that these checks are both a legal requirement and an important part of our commitment to maintaining a safe environment for all students.

There is no cost to complete your CRC through the district’s online process.

The Volunteering webpage also includes links to the required volunteer forms for anyone who has not yet submitted them to the school office this school year. If you have already submitted your volunteer forms, you do not need to complete them again.

Please note that submitting volunteer forms does not replace the requirement to complete a Criminal Record Check. All volunteers should ensure both requirements have been met before participating in volunteer activities.

November 2-6

Chères familles de l’école Cliff Drive,

We held our first assembly of the school year on Wednesday. Students from Division 5 showcased work they are especially proud of, while Division 7 presented important Halloween safety reminders for our school community. We also reviewed our expectations for respectful and appropriate behaviour during assemblies to help ensure a positive experience for everyone.

Musqueam Day and the Guerin decision

Every year, Musqueam acknowledges November 1 as Musqueam Day – “a holiday to celebrate the strength and determination of our ancestors to seek justice and protection of our inherent rights.”

The day recognizes the landmark 1984 Supreme Court of Canada Guerin decision. The case was led by Musqueam’s then chief, Delbert Guerin, and fundamentally changed Canadian law by challenging the:

• legal enforceability of the Crown’s obligations to Aboriginal people in Canada
• fiduciary duty owed to Indigenous peoples in Canada
• nature of Indigenous title in Canada
• the Crown’s duty to consult with Indigenous peoples

October 26-30

Chères familles de l’école Cliff Drive,

We hope everyone enjoyed connecting with their child’s teacher at our Parent-Teacher Conferences last week. These conversations are an important opportunity to celebrate student successes, discuss goals, and strengthen the home-school partnership that supports student learning and well-being.

Parking Around the School

As many of you may have noticed, we’ve had visits from the DPD Volunteer COPS to assess the road activity in front of the school. License plate numbers and infractions have been recorded as there have been many unsafe situations where parents/guardians are stopping in the middle of the street to drop off or pick up students. U-turns in a school zone on the narrow street are also common as well as parking in no stopping zones. Please try to avoid Cliff Drive Street in front of the school and find alternate parking at Brandrith Park, or Tsawwassen Alliance Church and St. Andrew’s Church.

Upcoming Spirit Days

Our Spirit Day Committee recently met and have organized Halloween Spirit Week.

Monday, October 26th – Halloween Accessories – Wear all your Halloween necklaces, hats, socks, etc.

Wednesday, October 28th – Halloween Art – Make and bring a Halloween art piece (decorated cup, creepy picture, paper chains, etc.)

Friday, October 30th – Spookfest/Wear Your Costume! – Dress up in your Halloween costume. It may be Spookfest-themed or not, totally up to you!

Chères familles de l’école Cliff Drive,

Ms. Shoaf, our amazing Admin Assistant, would like to send “A very big thank you” to all of the Cliff Drive families for calling and emailing each time their children will not be at school.  It has made a big difference to the number of daily phone calls having to be made each morning.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Our parent -Teacher Conferences will take place this week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Our teachers are looking forward to the opportunity to discuss your child and ways we can work together to make this a great school year!  Students will be dismissed at 2:00pm on both Tuesday and Wednesday.  For both early dismissals, the contents of our Lost and Found will be on display in front of the school.  Feel free to stop by, have a look, and claim any items that belong to your child.  If you haven’t already booked an appointment time with your child’s teacher don’t worry as Parent Connect is still open to find a time slot that works for you.

Portable Work

On Monday, Oct. 19 our Music Portable will be under repairs for the damage caused in August. Temporary fencing will be in place around the area starting next week. There will be heavy equipment on school grounds on Friday, Oct. 23. We are asking that our community stay clear of the area on the Pro-D day for safety purposes. The overall project is forecasted to be completed by the middle of November.

Halloween

 As Halloween approaches, we want to remind you of the importance of choosing costumes that are fun and respectful. Costumes that use traditional clothing, cultural symbols, or stereotypes can hurt people, even if unintentionally, and show disrespect to members of our community. Choosing costumes that don’t use or make fun of someone else’s culture demonstrates kindness, respect, and care for everyone in our school. This expectation aligns with our code of conduct, and students whose costumes are harmful to others will, at the very least, be asked to change or remove them. We look forward to a creative, fun, and thoughtful Halloween.

We encourage all students to celebrate Halloween safely with the following hints and tips:

1. Practice costume safety: Make sure all costumes, wigs and accessories are fire resistant. Make sure the costume is comfortable and doesn’t pose a tripping hazard for your child.
2. For costumes worn to school:

• Please ensure your child’s face is always visible. Masks and any other items that prevent students from being identified will not be permitted at school.
• Costumes must not include weapons, replica weapons or objects that can be mistaken as such.

3. If using makeup, choose non-toxic cosmetic products and test on a small area first to see if any irritation occurs. Many kids have sensitive skin.
4. Give kids a refresher on traffic safety. Tell them to look both ways and only cross when no cars are coming. Cross at marked crosswalks and intersections and never cross between parked cars.
5. Increase your child’s visibility – bright costumes make it easier for drivers to see children. Use reflective tape or give them flashlights or glow sticks to carry to ensure they are visible to motorists.
6. Encourage kids to stay together for trick or treating, and have them stick to familiar, well-lit areas.
7. Reiterate that they should only approach homes with lights on and they should never enter a stranger’s house or accept a ride from someone they don’t know.
8. Inspect your child’s candy before they indulge and make sure to remove any treats that aren’t age appropriate (e.g., gum or jawbreakers) or that contain food items they are allergic to.

For additional helpful hints, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/home-safety/halloween-safety.html

Thank you for talking with your child(ren) and helping to ensure that Halloween is a fun, safe and respectful celebration for our entire community.

Emergency Preparedness Fee

In 2024, the district introduced an annual Emergency Preparedness Fee of $10 per student. This fee covers the maintenance and replenishment of emergency provisions, including food, water, sanitation and first aid items, to help care for students in case of a large-scale incident such as an earthquake.

Last year’s Emergency Preparedness Fee was used to bolster emergency food and water supplies and enabled us to reach our goal of ensuring that schools across the district now have a three-day supply of both. It also enabled the district to provide sanitation carts containing portable toilets, privacy shelters, garbage and bio-hazard bags, sanitation supplies, and personal protection equipment to all schools. This year’s  $10  Emergency Preparedness  Fee will be used to replace water reserves and first aid items  that are about to expire, and to purchase additional sanitation supplies.

Please send $10 by cash or a cheque (made payable to the name of your child’s school) to the school office or pay online through Parent Connect where available as soon as possible. If your family requires financial support in relation to this fee, please contact the school office. Discretion will be maintained. Thank you for your support of this important initiative.

October 5-9

Chères familles de l’école Cliff Drive,

Like many in our community, we are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred on September 30^th, on TFN Lands. Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, those who were injured or witnessed the incident, and the local community at this time of grief.

World Teachers’ Day October 5

World Teachers’ Day is held annually on October 5^th to celebrate all teachers around the globe. The theme for 2026 is, “Standing with teachers: 60 years of protecting the profession, advancing its status and shaping our futures.” Please join us as we highlight the vital contributions of our teachers and the immense value they bring to Cliff Drive in saying a huge, “Thank You!”

Staff Parking Lot

Traffic safety in the staff parking lot has become a big safety concern. Many adults are using the staff parking lot for drop off and pick ups. For the safety of yours and other children, please remember the school parking lot is for staff only. In addition to street parking, there is ample parking in Brandrith Park and at the Tsawwassen Alliance Church and St. Andrew’s Church for families to use. If we all do our part, then everyone will remain safe.

Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found area is already full with brand new discarded jackets, sweaters, and other items. To help reunite belongings with their owners, please take a moment to label your child’s clothing and personal items with their name. We encourage students to check the Lost and Found regularly, as many unclaimed items accumulate throughout the school year. We will try to have the lost and found rack outside the gym doors at some drop off times in the mornings. Thank you for helping us keep track of these belongings and return them to their rightful owners!

September 28- October 2

 Dear Cliff Drive Families,

We had a terrific first full week of school, highlighted by our Terry Fox Run on Friday. Thankfully, the rain cleared just in time, and all of our students put in a great effort, demonstrating perseverance and school spirit as they completed the run.

Truth and Reconciliation Walk and Ceremony

On Tuesday, September 29, as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting Indigenous Reconciliation, the district will host its third annual Walk for Truth and Reconciliation. Students and staff across the district will participate in a walk to honour the legacy of Residential school survivors and raise awareness about the importance of Reconciliation in Canada. Cliff Drive is organizing its own walk for Grades K-5. Following the walk, a ceremony will take place in the theatre at South Delta Secondary School, which will be live streamed to all school and district sites. Please encourage your child to wear orange to school on Tuesday, September 29th.

Wednesday, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. If you’re wondering what you can do to recognize and honour the day, here are a few simple steps towards Reconciliation:

• Discover whose traditional territory you’re living or working on and then learn about those Nations. Both the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) (https://tsawwassenfirstnation.com/) and Musqueam Indian Band (https://www.musqueam.bc.ca/) websites have information about who they are and their histories.
• Check out the 94 Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action (https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf) Ask yourself if there is one Call that you can commit to acting on.
• As many of us celebrate the back-to-school season, stop, and reflect on why it may not be easy for everyone. Find out more about Phyllis Webstad’s story (https://orangeshirtday.org/phyllis-story/)
• Map of all the residential schools across Canada:https://nctr.ca/records/view-your-records/archival-map/

Individual Photo Day

Have your child(ren) bring their best smile on Monday as Darby Photos will be at Cliff Drive to take their individual school photo.

Walk Your Wheels On The Playground

For the safety of everyone, please remind your children they must walk their bikes, scooters, skateboards etc. when on the school grounds.

Dress for the Weather

We are approaching the time of year when it is cooler and can be very rainy. Just a reminder to make sure your children come to school dressed appropriately for playing outside at recess and lunchtime (e.g. boots, jacket, hat, gloves, etc.), and perhaps also pack an extra pair of socks and pants into their backpacks for really rainy days! In the case of extremely poor weather, a decision will be made by staff to designate the recess and/or lunch hour as an “in day”, which means that students are to stay inside and play quietly in their classrooms rather than venture outdoors. We refrain from doing this unless absolutely necessary, as the children need the opportunity to get out in the fresh air and be physically active before heading back into the classroom (and besides, rain is just a fact of life of our West Coast climate).

Communicating Concerns

We believe that communication between the school and families is critical to your child’s success at school. If you have an issue, concern or question about some aspect of your child’s school experience, please reach out to your classroom teacher with a phone call, email or by making an appointment to meet with them. We recognize that sometimes these conversations might feel uncomfortable, but they are key to solving any issues or misunderstandings in a way that benefits everyone. If a matter remains unsolved, please contact the principal to request assistance in dealing with the matter. Ultimately, we want our school to be a community that supports children’s learning and nurtures the hearts of children and families, and we will do our best to work alongside you to do that.

The start of the new school year is a great time to check that the information on your Emergency Contacts and Student Reunification Contacts is up to date on ParentConnect.

• Emergency Contacts are the people the school will contact in the event your child is ill and needs to go home during the school day.
• Student Reunification Contacts are the people authorized to pick up your children from school in case of an emergency. It is recommended that all parents/caregivers have an additional 3 adults to pick up their children. When considering authorizing additional people, ideally, they should be:
  • An adult (over 19 years of age)
  • A trusted individual, such as a close friend, family member, neighbour
  • Current daycare or before/afterschool provider
  • Physically able to travel to the school despite potential obstacles in the community
  • Able to speak English (optional) – during an emergency, access to translators may be limited

School Calendar

September 21-25

 Dear Cliff Drive Families,

We had a terrific first week of school in our new classes. We are so pleased with the turn out on Thursday at our Welcome Back Open House.  Thank you to all families that came, it was wonderful seeing parents with their children at the school to start the year off well. We appreciate everyone that supported our PAC at the BBQ. It looked like a great success! We are looking forward to upcoming similar activities at the school throughout the year.

New Thunderbird Staff

While many of our staff are returning from last year, there are a number of new faces joining the “Thunderbird” team. Please join me in extending a welcome to the following new staff members:

• J. Minci (Grade 6/7)
• O. Sun (Grade 6)
• A. Law (Grade 3 & Grade 7)
• P. Gelech (Teacher Librarian)
• K. Sollenius (Education Assistant)
• A. Tatcheva (Education Assistant)

Helpful Suggestions for a Successful School Year

Here are some suggestions that will be helpful in establishing school routines and will make this year the most successful one yet for your child!

Read Together – Children who read at home with their parents are more successful in school. Show your children that you view reading as an important activity by keeping lots of reading material around the house and set aside time each evening for reading. Also, model reading yourself.

Establish A Daily Family Routine – Set a specific quiet time and place every day for homework or general reading. While you should be actively involved in your child’s homework routine, let them do the actual work. Other helpful routines involve assigning responsibilities for household chores, being firm about times to get up and go to bed (most children require about 10 hours of sleep per night) and have dinner together whenever possible. Don’t forget about the importance of a healthy breakfast and lunch to ensure your child has the energy needed to make it through the day productively.

Talk Together – Find some time each day to ask your child about school. Ask specific questions that will require explanations. Not only will this provide you with an overview of what your child is learning each day but explaining their learning to you will heighten their understanding of their lessons.

Home-School Relationship – The importance of a strong home-school relationship cannot be overstated. Get to know your child’s teacher(s) and what they expect. Let them know you will reinforce the importance of schoolwork at home and keep them informed of important things happening in your family that may be affecting your child at school. Make sure your child knows that you are interested in their school. This will send the message that what they are doing is important.

Have High, But Realistic Goals – Make sure you set goals with your child that are achievable, but not too easy for their age, maturity, and ability. Don’t forget to celebrate when these goals are achieved.

Emergency Preparedness Fee:

Last year, the school district introduced an annual $10 Emergency Preparedness Fee per student to help ensure every school is equipped with essential emergency supplies – such as food, water, and first aid items – in the event of a major incident like an earthquake.  This annual fee, due at the beginning of each school year, plays a vital role in helping us meet that goal and allows us to replace supplies as they expire.

The preferred method of payment is online, however this fee can also be paid by sending cash or a cheque to the school office. If your family requires financial support in relation to this fee, please contact the school office. Discretion will be maintained.

The District will also accept donations for the Emergency Preparedness fund, so if you would like to give more than the suggested amount of $10 per student, it would be much appreciated. Please note: Donations of $25 or more will receive a taxable donation receipt.

Bugle or Bagpipes

Are there any Cliff Drive family members able to play either the bugle or bagpipes? If so, would they be willing to come play at our Remembrance Day Assembly on Tuesday, November 10^th? Anyone interested, please contact the office.

PAC News

The Cliff Drive PAC is an opportunity for parents and guardians to partner with their child’s school and contribute to the school community. The PAC is created for parents to have a voice in matters affecting the school including programs, policies, activities, and the overall community. PACs also enhance the school experience through events and fundraising for resources such as field trips, guest speakers, music, technology and library and gym equipment beyond district and provincial funding.

We would love to see you at our first meeting on Thursday, September 24 at 6:30pm in the school Library.

School Calendar

September 14-18

Dear Cliff Drive Families,

Our first week back to school was a success! We welcomed many new students to our school community. At the end of the week, we were able to place our students into their permanent classes and prepare us for our first full week ahead.

Student Planners:

Student planners will be distributed to students, at a cost of $8.00 each.  Please have your child bring their payment to their classroom teacher so that they may get their planners as soon as possible.

Tardiness/attendance

As we start the school year, we want to reinforce all of the good habits that help build success at school.  Being present, on time and ready to learn are key elements for learning.  Please work with your child to ensure they arrive at school with time to settle and be ready to start as the school day begins.  Arriving late can cause stress while also disrupting the day for both your child and other students.  Thank you for your support!

Extended Absences

Over the course of a school year, students may be absent for short periods of time for a variety of reasons.  Extended absences, for reasons other than student health, should be carefully considered by families. To ensure that our students miss as little time as possible from school, we ask for parents’ cooperation in scheduling family holidays outside of school time.

Schools are not in a position to approve or deny permission for student absences for family holidays or other extended absences.  This decision lies with the parent/guardian.  Please do inform the office and teacher in advance of the absence so they are aware. Should parents wish to remove their child from school for a lengthy period of time, consideration should be given to the implication this may have to their child’s education.  Important learning is missed by students during any absence which puts them at a disadvantage compared with those in regular attendance.

Should a family decide to remove their child for an extended absence, the school is not required to provide educational materials.  Being present and engaged in the school setting goes beyond the materials provided.  Teachers are not able to replicate the school experience by providing homework.  Please note that teachers are not obliged to provide learning materials or assignments during an extended vacation absence. Should a student be absent for a significant period of time and therefore is not able to demonstrate the learning outcomes for a particular course, it may not be possible to provide an appropriate proficiency scale in reporting on their learning.

Road Safety

Pick up times can be busy and we have limited parking around the school. Due to this, we encourage families to walk to and from school if possible. To help us continue to keep our students and staff safe during pick up and drop off times, parents can do the following:

• Keep our staff parking lot clear of parent vehicles. Even though it may appear as, the roundabout in front of the portable is not a drop off section.
• Park at Brandrith Park or Tsawwassen Alliance Church and St. Andrew’s Church
• Make sure your children are walking on designated walking paths while near the staff parking lot and not cutting through
• Follow all road signs to ensure you are parked safely and legally

Walk Your Wheels On The Playground

For the safety of everyone, please remind your children they must walk their bikes, scooters, skateboards etc. when on all areas of the school grounds.

E-Scooter and E-Bikes

The Delta School District would like to remind students and their families of the provincial regulations regarding electric kick scooters (e-scooters) and electric bikes (e-bikes).

E-scooters should not be used by students travelling to school or while on the school grounds. Despite their popularity in our province, e-scooters remain illegal for use on public roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks across most of B.C., except in a handful of communities that are taking part in a pilot program to test the use of them. The City of Delta is not part of the pilot program. Even in the pilot program cities, it is illegal for a person under 16 years of age to operate an electric kick scooter and may result in a fine. Click here for more information.

E-Bikes: In B.C., it is illegal for students under 14 years of age to ride e-bikes. Students can operate light e-bikes at age 14 and standard e-bikes at 16. Parents or guardians of students below the minimum age must not knowingly permit them to ride an e-bike. For more information, including the definitions of a light e-bike and a standard e-bike, please click here.

We also encourage you to review Fraser Health’s What Every Parent Needs to Know about E-scooters

Restricting cellphone and personal digital device usage in schools:

Please be reminded that restrictions on the use of cellphones and other personal digital devices came into effect on July 1, 2024. The district emailed families regarding these changes on June 20. You can read the letter here: https://district.deltasd335.upanupstage.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/DS-Letter-home-Personal-Digital-Devices-June-20-2024.pdf

• Elementary school restrictions
• Secondary school restrictions

If you have any questions, please contact the school.

Stay Home When Sick

Now that we are all together again, the chances of spreading cold and flu are higher. To keep our school as healthy as possible for students and staff, the best defence we have is for people to stay home when not well.  All staff and students should check themselves for signs and symptoms of illness each day prior to arriving at school. Please remember to call the school and record an absence for each day your child will not be attending. Please remember to leave your child’s first and last name, the division and/or teacher and the reason for the absence.

School-Wide Medical Alert

Several of our students and staff have life-threatening allergies to peanuts, and other nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, Brazil nuts, pecans, macadamias). Exposure to even tiny amounts of nut particles – residue on a desk, a book, a door handle, a computer keyboard, or a drinking fountain – may be enough to trigger a reaction. Please help us create a safe environment for them by keeping foods containing nuts, and peanuts at home. Several companies are now making nut-free snacks and we encourage you to look for these new products when shopping. Other names for peanuts and other nuts include: arachide, arachis oil, beer nuts, goober nuts, goober peas, ground nuts, kernels, mandelonas, nut meals, valencias, anacardium nuts, calisson, marzipan, pinion, Queensland nut (macadamia). Label reading is the key to sending safe, nut-free foods to school. Please do your part to ensure our school environment is a safe one for all our students. THANK YOU!!

Administration of Medication

Schools are required to maintain a safe procedure for dispensing medications. We would like to have information regarding medication administration within the first two weeks of school. If your child is required to take medication at school, please request a Request for Administration of Medication at School form from the office. These forms must be completed each year and are required to be signed by your physician.

Dogs on School Grounds

For many people, dogs are important members of the family, and we know that many enjoy walking to and from school with them. Please note, we do have some friendly reminders about dogs at school:

• Dogs must be leashed at all times– our school ground are not an off-leash area on the fields, baseball diamonds, or around the blacktop areas.
• Please be mindful that not everyone is comfortable with dogs. Some of our students and parents are fearful of dogs. If your dog can be overly excitable or feels threatened/anxious easily, please avoid busy times such as pick-up and drop-off times. Please also make sure you always have a good handle on your pet.
• Please clean up after your dog! If you have forgotten/run out of dog poop bags, we have extras in the office. Please come ask!

Welcome Back Open House

Cliff Drive will be hosting a Welcome Back open house for the school community this Thursday from 4:00 – 4:30pm. Please enter through the front door and proceed to your child’s classroom. Our PAC will be hosting a Welcome back BBQ from 4:00-6:00pm

School Calendar

Dear Cliff Drive Elementary Families,

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer holiday! While there is still a little summer left to enjoy, here is some important information to help you plan for the opening week of school. My name is Kelly Reeve, and I feel privileged to be the Principal starting the 2026/2027 school year at Cliff Drive Elementary.

The office is now open for the school year daily from 8:15am – 3:45pm. If you would like to register your child, please do so between Tuesday, September 1st and Friday, September 4, 2026.  Please contact Ms. Shoaf at 604-943-2244 or at cliffdrive.elem@deltaschools.ca

The beginning of a new school year can be a time of uncertainty with regards to enrolment and class assignments.  Although tentative classes were put together in the spring, final organization cannot be done until students arrive in September, as there are many families who will arrive or leave during the summer months. Even slight changes from projected enrollment numbers can create staffing changes and require that classes be reorganized once school has started in September. This can be very disruptive to all concerned.

Despite not being able to set our classes ahead of time, we want to ensure a smooth entry for our students. The staff at Cliff Drive has prepared for our September opening and how we might alleviate some of the uncertainty around “back to school”.

Please read the following section carefully as it fully explains how students in Grades 1 – 7 will be organized for the first week of school (new Kindergarten students have already received information through email regarding the September gradual entry schedule):

• Students in Grades 1 – 7 will return to school on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 8:55 – 12:00 pm 
Students should bring water and a snack for the first day. The following days will be our regular school schedule (see below), so a snack and lunch will be needed for each day.
• All returning students will gather in the courtyard and line up according to their previous year’s division number, as indicated on the cones. Students will remain in grade-level groups until classes have been finalized.
• All New students will enter through the front door and will be escorted to the gym before being placed in a classroom with their peers.
• School hours during the first week back will be as follows:

Tuesday
                                               8:55 – 12:00 pm

Wednesday/Thursday/Friday               8:55 – 3:00 pm

During the first week of school, students are asked to only bring a limited amount of school supplies (pencil box containing pencils and pens, pencil crayons, scissors, etc.). All other supplies should be left at home until they are assigned to their classes for the year.  Our school supply lists can be found at the following link:

https://cd.deltasd335.upanupstage.com/student-life/supplies/

Traffic and parking are always a challenge around the school. Please remember that the parking lot is for staff only. To help us continue to keep students safe during pick-up and drop-off time, parents can use the parking available on the street in front of the school and at Brandrith Park. Tsawwassen Alliance Church and St. Andrew’s Church have kindly granted permission to use their parking lots for drop-off and pick-ups.

As we prepare to welcome students back to school, we would like to share a few updates regarding changes and projects that took place over the summer months.

First, Ms. Hamilton has been appointed Acting Principal at Devon Gardens and, as a result, will not be returning to our school at the start of this school year. We thank Ms. Hamilton for her contributions to our school community and wish her all the best in her new role.

Second, our school roof underwent significant upgrades throughout the summer. The project is expected to be completed before students return; however, some finishing work may still be required. As a result, construction barricades may remain in place until the project is fully completed.

Finally, over the August long weekend, our music portable sustained damage as a result of a vehicle accident. The extent of the damage is currently being assessed, and repairs will begin as soon as those assessments are complete. In the meantime, music classes will once again be held in the gymnasium when school begins.

With some areas of the school still under repair or construction, we ask that you remind your child(ren) to stay well clear of all barricaded areas and construction zones. Student safety remains our highest priority, and we appreciate your support in reinforcing these expectations.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.  Looking forward to a smooth start to a great 2026-27 school year!
