April 8th Update to Families

By

Dear Laity View Families,

With a solar eclipse in store for Monday, a reminder that looking directly at the sun during a solar eclipse without adequate eye protection can cause instant, severe eye injury, according to the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.  In Metro Vancouver, we will see a partial solar eclipse.  Only about 28% of the sun will be covered by the moon, according to the Space Centre, and our view may be limited due to cloud cover and rain in the forecast.  Outdoor time for students may be limited or adjusted during this time depending on local conditions.  Please review the information below for some details about the upcoming week.

Mon., Apr. 8:  10:43 am – 12:20 pm SOLAR ECLIPSE – The district will advise us regarding possible adjusted outdoor lunch time depending on local conditions.

         Deadline extended to order for Hot Dog Hot Lunch on Apr. 12th

Tues., Apr. 9:  Deadline to order for Krispy Kreme donuts fundraiser (pick up on Apr. 19th)

Fri., Apr. 12:  12:25 PAC Hot Lunch – Hot Dogs (pre-order required)

Registration for Summer Learning, Apr. 18 to May 9 – Parents can register for English or French elementary summer learning and/or secondary summer learning through the parent portal between noon April 18th and 3pm on May 9th.  Accompanying the elementary summer learning, which is being hosted at Laity View Elementary, there are Afternoon Multi-Sport Camps from 12:20 – 2:20 pm.  These registered camps offer drills, games, and activities to develop teamwork and sport skills at all levels.  For more information about summer learning, please review the flyer at https://www.sd42.ca/assets/media/SD42-Summer-Learning-2024.pdf.  For more information about the afternoon sport camps and registration, please review the flyer at https://www.sd42.ca/assets/media/SD42-Afternoon-Multi-sport-Camp-2024.pdf.

Student Learning Surveys – If you have a student in Grade 4 or 7, parents are invited to complete a Student Learning Survey.  This year, parents do not need a logon code to access the online Student Learning Survey.  Electronic surveying is available until May 3rd.  The website to access the electronic survey is:  http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sat_survey/access.htm.  We invite you to take 15 minutes of your time to fill this out.  The more parents who complete these surveys, the higher quality of feedback we will receive.  Your input is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lawrance
