Dear Families,

We are starting to get busy again at c’usqunela with a number of amazing opportunities for the kids around the building. This week many classes are learning about Polynesian dance and culture. In a couple of weeks, the primary classes will also be performing our first primary musical “Disney Winnie the Pooh Kids.” Please review the updates below to ensure you have all the information about our upcoming musical and other school events.

  1. The next PAC meeting is scheduled for THIS Thursday, January 12th, 7pm in the HIVE. All parents and guardians of c’usqunela students are members of the PAC and are welcome and encouraged to attend PAC meetings.
  2. Our school’s “Winnie the Pooh Kids” Primary Musical will be performed for parents on Wednesday January 25th and Thursday January 26th at 1pm on both days. If you have children in the primary grades they will present on one of these days. Please check below to confirm which day your child will be performing.   Additional information about the musical is on the attached flyer.

  2. Registration Reminders! Thank you to all kindergarten families who registered during the sibling phase last week. We want to ensure we keep all of our c’usqunela families together! Kindergarten general registration for new families will begin on February 1st at noon. If you know a family with a kindergarten child in our catchment area please encourage them to do so early to avoid disappointment.

Lastly, registration for students going into grade 8 begins on February 2nd at noon. All families involved in this process will receive additional information closer to the date but should be make a note to register on this date to avoid disappointment.
