Dear Families,
After a busy transition into our new school last week we are looking forward to having our first full week together at c̓əsqənelə! A few things to be aware of for this week are listed below.
- THIS Monday September 30th our school will be participating in Orange Shirt Day. Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation (orangeshirtday.org). The message for this day is that every child matters! If your child has an orange shirt, or a shirt of a similar colour, please encourage them to wear it tomorrow.
- THIS Wednesday October 2nd is c̓əsqənelə’s first Open House between 6 – 7pm. We hope many families can drop by the school to meet classroom teachers and take a walk through our fabulous new facility!
- Please be advised the Parent Advisory Council (PAC) has set up a Facebook page for our school in order to communicate certain events, fundraisers, and general information surrounding C’usqunela Elementary. If you are a Facebook member, please visit the page link below and request to join (member question must be answered to be accepted)

Secondly, THIS Monday September 30th is the last day for families to return any Love That Deal coupon cards to classroom teachers.
- Our Individual Student Photo Day is scheduled for Monday October 28th so please plan clothing accordingly.
We are looking forward to our first full week at c̓əsqənelə with the kids!
Sincerely,
Mr. Wheatley
We are continuing to move towards using the District’s Parent Portal as our primary method to communicate school updates. Most families are now signed up for the Parent Portal. I plan to discontinue with our mass email list soon. Please check your Parent Portal account if you are not receiving updates through the portal.
