Registration- To finish your re-registration this year and fill out the applicable paperwork, every family will need to sign up for an office session during the student-led conferences. Sign up for Student Led conferences was emailed this morning separately.
Grade 4-7 Parent Evening is on Wednesday, April 5th from 6:30pm -8:30pm in the gym. This is a mandated meeting from the Archdiocese for all schools. We will be showing a screening of Screenagers followed by a short debrief. Our school paid for a license for this private screening as we feel that this is a very important topic in today’s world. Please make every effort to come to this evening - I promise you it will be eye opening and well worth your time! Childcare available staring at 6:15pm in Grade 6 classroom. Exterior door will be open.
Badminton- regular season is over and moving forward only those students who will be competing in the upcoming tournaments will practice. Students who were selected were given a form today.
School Uniforms- Many of you have asked when Cambridge Uniforms ordering will be available. A letter will be sent to you on Monday with all of the information regarding fitting day and ordering. Stay tuned!
Lost and Found items- Please see here for Lost and Found items collected before Spring Break.
Hip Hop- A big thank you to our PSG (Parent Support Group) for once again funding this year’s Hip Hop week! Everyone had lots of fun showcasing their routines today :)

Even if you have completed your hours for the year, or if you opted out, you can still sign up and offer to help. Everyone is welcome to volunteer, including extended family like grandparents. If you have any questions, please email myself or Mr. K.https://portal.onvolunteers.com/login.aspx?s=ccs.bc
