Parents are asked to notify the school using the SAFE ARRIVALS system when a child will be absent. Please visit our website for more info!

With the passing of Bill 201 – Protection of Students with Life Threatening Allergies Act, all students with a serious or life -threatening medical condition must have a form on file in the school office indicating the condition and procedure in case of emergency.

To provide a safe and caring school for our students who have allergies, we require the cooperation of our families. We have students with severe life -threatening food allergies (anaphylaxis) to peanuts and all nut products. Please DO NOT send any items containing peanut butter or nut products in your child’s lunch or for classroom treats.

For the safety of all students, our school strongly suggests that children who are capable (typically ages 6–8 and older) carry their EpiPen on their person at all times. If a child is not old enough or unable to carry and/or administer their own EpiPen, we will work with family to create a plan to ensure it is always accessible. Parents who prefer that their child not carry their EpiPen will be asked to indicate where it will be kept at school, a form will be coming home to families next week. It is the parents’ responsibility to inform school of allergies and ensure that their child’s epi-pen has not expired.

School Picture Day is THURSDAY, September 10.

After Picture Day, we will receive proofs and you will be able to order pictures on mylifetouch.ca using your Portrait ID and Access Code.

Our class photos will take place in the Spring.

School Picture Retake Day is Thursday, October 22.

Welcome back to all our BK families and students, and a special welcome to those who are new to our community! We’re excited for another great year together and look forward to our Welcome Back BBQ and more fun events throughout the year.

We Need You!

Every year, we say goodbye to families as their children move on, so we’re always looking for new helping hands! We are looking for TWO parent representatives from each class to join the School Council. Sign-up sheets will be available in classrooms at school supply drop-off.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help with events and activities throughout the year. Whether you can help regularly or just occasionally, every helping hand makes a difference!

Stay Connected!

Our School Council Annual General Meeting is September 24, 2026. We are happy to arrange child care as needed to make it easier for parents to attend.
