The school district is gathering feedback from parents on their experience so far with the district’s “Communicating Student Learning” reporting pilot (report card and communication from the school and teachers).  If you were unable to attend one of the evening parent feedback sessions held in February, we hope you will take a few minutes to complete this anonymous on-line survey which uses a similar format and set of questions.  (One survey per family, please.)

Thank you for your participation.

Division 14:  Salmon Release at Beaver Lake in Stanley Park

In January, Ms Hales’ Kindergarten class received 55 Coho Salmon eggs and cared for them for the next 4 months. On May 7 the salmon fry were removed from the fish tank in the classroom and driven to Beaver Lake in Stanley Park.  At the park, the class was assisted by the Stanley Park Ecological Society and each child released a few salmon fry into the lake.  It was a great morning for the field trip and in addition to releasing the salmon fry, the class also participated in a study of what lives in the water in Beaver Lake.  This is Ms Hales’ 5^th year participating in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans “Salmon in the Classroom” program and the programs 30^th year of providing this educational learning opportunity for students living in the Metro Vancouver region.

Maple Grove Gardeners Beautify Their School

After winning close to one hundred plants in an art contest, Maple Grove students planted vegetable and flower seedlings around their school.  At recess, inspired gardeners tended to flower boxes weeding and watering and will in months to come gather veggies as summer approaches .  The children are not only learning about how to prepare, plant, and maintain gardens, but they are  voluntarily engaged in “beautifying” their school so that they feel a sense of ownership and pride when they come to Maple Grove each day.

PAC loves your big ideas!

We love them even more if you agree to lead them.  We are asking for any last call budget input as we prepare the final draft of our 2018-2019 budget for this year’s AGM on June 13th at 7pm. We hope you will join us and help build the community you would like to belong to.

Below you’ll find an editable/ printable nominee form. The intent is for you to fill it  out with your name, or you and your partner in crime and submit it via the PAC mailbox in the office. Some of the boxes will be filled with people who have already offered their names for nomination. But that doesn’t mean the position is filled. The elections happen at the AGM and only then are the positions confirmed. That means your secret dreams of PAC domination can still be realized!!!

Nominations can come from the floor at the AGM, but it’s always great to hear from potential nominees beforehand and make sure they are aware of the opportunities and job description that lies before them. Volunteering in your school community is a meaningful way to build change, support learners and invest in the place where your kids are shaped into the future citizens of the world. Come join the party. Chocolate guaranteed.

Here’s an editable version of the nomination form which you can print and submit PAC Nomination letter 2018
