Coffee with Katrin and Tim
Please join Ms. Lusignan and Mr. Birchfield on the Oct. 11 at 10:00 am for coffee and conversation. We’ll be discussing education at Fish Creek School and across the province. Please contact Tim Birchfield if you have any questions, would like any specific information, or if you would like to RSVP.
Division 1 Playground
If you are supervising children who are not in school, we kindly ask that you use our playground outside of school hours. During school hours, school staff are responsible for supervising students and ensuring safe use of our playground equipment. This process can be complicated by the presence of visiting children who are no acting under the direction of school staff.

Fun Lunch + Spirit Days
You may place Healthy Hunger orders at https://healthyhunger.ca. Please note, some of our lunches have two delivery times. Only the one of the delivery times will show based on your child's lunch time. You can cancel lunch on the Healthy Hunger website up until the Saturday before the lunch. Please contact fishcreekschoolcouncil@gmail.com with any fun lunch questions.
Each Fun Lunch day will be paired with a Spirit Day theme. Our first Fun Lunch of the year shall also be Moustache Day. If you moustache some questions, please contact your child’s classroom teacher for more information.

Annual Volunteer Forms
Paper copies of Annual Volunteer Forms are being sent home with students. There is a different form available on SchoolEngage, accessed through your MyCBE account. This is a form that new volunteers can fill out to initiate the volunteer clearance process. If you are a returning volunteer, you do not need to fill out this online form. You only need to fill out the paper copy of the Annual Volunteer Form.
Here is a picture of the online form that you do not need to fill out.
