Pink Shirt Day 

February 25 is Pink Shirt Day. It’s a chance for everyone to show support for kindness, inclusion, and respect by wearing pink. Preventing and addressing bullying is an important part of a whole-school approach to mental health and creating safe, inclusive spaces for everyone. 

Here are resources to support conversations at home about bullying: 

·       Bullying: How to help your child (English | French)  

·        Stand up to bullying: Tips for families with teens (English | French) 

Student Led Conferences - March 19 & 20 

Student Led Conferences will take place on March 19 and March 20. Parents and Guardians will soon be able to sign up for a 30 minute time block to come to the school with your child to learn about the learning that is happening in their classroom and around the school. This will be an opportunity for your child to take the lead to share learning activities they have been engaging in at school. The booking system opening time will be posted in early March.
