PLEASE NOTE: We have a student coming with a severe allergy to PEANUTS, PISTACHIOS AND CASHEWS, so please do NOT send any tree nut products with your child to school this year, and check to make sure all snacks are “nut free.”

To register for the bus or view routes, please visit the SD10 Transportation site.
We will be in session for full days starting on Wednesday, September 9. Note that we are in session on Friday, September 11.
We will be purchasing school supplies as a school, so there is no need to buy your own for your children. We purchase at bulk-discount prices and pass the savings on to you. The cost will be $60 per child for the whole year, and we will send an e-transfer email in our September newsletter, or you can bring cash to the office. If this is a financial hardship, please contact Tim.vanbrummelen@sd10.bc.ca to apply for an exemption.
