FCS Grade 4 students are spearheading a Veterans’ Food Bank drive from November 4-27. Students are encouraged to bring in a food donation. Please see the needed items list for highly needed items.
Teachers carefully select experiences that will enhance regular programming, for which there is at times, has a cost associated with it. Fish Creek school currently has over $6000 in unpaid programming fees from prior years. This means that our budget for this year has already been spent over 10% in order to cover these costs from previous years. We would appreciate that these fees be taken care of as soon as possible as otherwise the school has to pay for them and it affects the programming we can offer. They can be paid online through your MyCBE account. If you need help with the payment process or if you feel that you received this message in error, please contact the office. It you need to make payment arrangements, please contact the school directly as soon as possible.
Our lost & found is overflowing! There is a much greater chance of items being reunited if a child's name is in them. Please label your child's item with their name. Our lost & found will be on display during conferences. Please take a few minutes to check through to see if you recognize anything. For the next two weeks, items will be on racks outside of the main doors at drop off and pick up. Please take the time to see if there is anything that belongs to your child.
