This includes a person checking regularly that they (or their child) are not experiencing symptoms of illness (including but not limited to COVID-19 symptoms) to ensure they are not coming to school when they are sick.\u00a0 In a nutshell, please have students stay home when they are ill, and return when they can fully participate in school activities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MESSAGE FROM THE LIBRARY<\/strong><\/p>\n Dear Parents,<\/p>\n All books are now due at the MRE Library. Please look around the house for any stray overdue books. If your child has overdue\u00a0books on their account, they will receive a notice including replacement cost. Thank you for your help in returning all books to our library<\/p>\n -Mr. Bisset<\/p>\n <\/p>\n YEARBOOK COVER WINNERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you to all the students to sent in their Art work for consideration in the school yearbook cover contest.\u00a0 We had many wonderful submissions.\u00a0 Congraulations to the yearbook front cover winner Nicholas P. and the back cover winner Magnus D.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PITT MEADOWS SUMMER PROGRAMS<\/strong><\/p>\n The Pitt Meadows summer program guide is now available.
