Fish Creek School Updates
A reminder that there is no school on Friday, May 15 due to a non-instruction day and Monday, May 18 due to Victoria Day. We look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday, May 19.
There are currently over $14 000 in unpaid fees, of which $7000 is still due for swimming. Please check your MyCBE account for unpaid fees and pay them immediately. Payments can be made online at any time in person at the office during school business hours. If any fee creates a financial hardship, please contact Ms. Lusignan, Principal immediately to discuss options. Unpaid fees have a direct impact on the programming that can be offered.
We are still in need of volunteers to support swimming. If you can volunteer and are cleared, we would appreciate your help. Both men and women are needed, and we ask that you stay during the whole time for different classes. Volunteers are not in the pool with the students.
Please sign up through the links below:
If you have any questions about your volunteer clearance, please contact the school office. If you have any questions specific to swimming volunteering, please contact Mr. Birchfield at tdbirchfield@cbe.ab.ca.
May 21 is our Sports Fan Spirit Day. Everyone is encouraged to show their sports fan side.
Please save the date for our Sports Day on May 29, which can only run with the help of volunteers. You can sign up through this link to support Sports Day. Thank you for your support! Additionally, the pull through in front of the school will be closed as of 7am to set up stations for Sports Day. Please take this into consideration for drop off and pickup.
Fish Creek Parent Council/Association Update
The yearbook is now available to order online at healthyhunger.ca. The DEADLINE TO ORDER is May 31. Yearbooks will be delivered to the classrooms the week of June 15.
Our next fun lunch is Boston Pizza on Thursday, May 21. Don’t forget to place your order before the cut off on Saturday, May 16. To place your child's order please visit the Healthy Hunger website at https://healthyhunger.ca If you miss the deadline, please do not call the restaurant and ask to add an order. It is very confusing when we end up with extra lunches. If your child will be absent on a fun lunch day, you can cancel their lunch on the Healthy Hunger website before the cut off date (the Saturday before the lunch.) Refunds are not available through the school at any time or via Healthy Hunger after the cut off date. If your child is unexpectedly absent on the Fun Lunch day, please contact the office to arrange for pickup in the office from 12:00-1:00 pm or to have it sent home with a sibling. Any lunches left at the school after 1:00 pm will be forfeited. Please contact fishcreekschoolcouncil@gmail.com with any fun lunch questions. Thank you!
The next School Council and Parent Association meeting takes place on Tuesday, May 19 at 7:00 pm. Board Trustee Charlene May will be joining us for the evening to discuss all things Fish Creek School! If you would like to attend remotely, please use this link.
Next year, FCS parent council is considering hosting a variety of enrichment activities outside of school hours (such as writing, book clubs, robotics, Lego, chess, APEGA Olympics, art, sports, dance, choir, drama, etc.). We created this Parent survey regarding after school programs to gauge the interest and support that families may have for these types of programs. This survey will take less than 3 minutes. Please help us by completing it! Click here for the survey or visit: https://forms.gle/hEEkANQpUdFEa7q36
