IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Masks Now Required K-12
As per the Provincial Health Officer's announcement on Friday, beginning Monday, Oct. 4, 2021, all students (K-12) in B.C. schools will be expected to wear a mask when inside a school building, including while at their desks and on buses. We recognize that some students in grades K-3 may not be accustomed to wearing masks, as a result, school staff will spend Monday Oct. 4 helping children adjust to this change, with the goal of building mask wearing into student routines by Tuesday, Oct. 5.

Students are encouraged to bring 2 clean masks to school every day in a ziplock bag, in case one gets dirty. The school will have disposable masks available in case students forget, however, the use of cloth masks is preferred to help reduce the impact on our environment.
