ANIMAL APPRECIATION DAY TAKE 2

With roughly 60+ students away today, our donations to the SPCA were very small.  We are proud of the charitable giving the students do on behalf of the school.  As such, next Wednesday will be an additional non-uniform day for those students who were away or forgot their donation at home.  Everyone who comes to school that day can wear red, white or pink to school.  We hope that with this extra Non-Uniform day we can match the charitable donation we provided last year.  Thank you for your continued generosity.

TAX RECEIPTS

Tax receipts are available for pick-up  at the school office. You must sign for the receipt.  If you are having someone else pick it up, they must have a signed note from you requesting that they have your permission to pick up your Tax receipt. Please make a copy of the receipt in the event that you loose or misplace your original receipt, replacement receipts will NOT be issued. Parents are reminded to submit this tax under “Charitable Donations” section of their income tax return.

LIKE US ON GOOGLE. RECOMMEND US ON FACEBOOK

St. Bernadette School is trying to expand its social media presence.  One of the best ways is through online word of mouth.  If you are proud of your school please consider leaving us a review.  Leaving reviews with keys words such as “Surrey, school, best, top, St. Bernadette, elementary, etc.” help get our school out there when families do searches using those words.

There are two primary sites that we use where you can leave a review:

To leave a review on google, type in St. Bernadette School Surrey in the google search bar and scroll down and look on the right side until you see the review button.

To leave a review on Facebook, go to https://www.facebook.com/stbernadettelementary/

Our goal is to receive over 50 reviews on each platform, we hope you will help us reach that goal.

SCHOOL CLOSURE

In the event of weather conditions, or unforeseen circumstances, the Principal will decide whether or not the school will be open on that day or remain open if the school needs to close part way through the day. Notice of school closures will be announced through Facebook, GlobalBC TV News (snow day mornings only), classroom representatives and if possible, the school website. Please do not call the school; it is important that we keep all lines free in case of an emergency.

When it comes to snow days, several factors go into making the call.  The call to close the school must be made prior to 6:45am to ensure Stingers Club parents receive timely notice.  The factors that go into making the call include, but is not limited to:

• Information on current road conditions (Conditions are monitored throughout the night, and again at approximately 6:00am by the Principal) including the side street accessibility to the school from 65B Ave.

• Amount of snow and ice accumulated and/or predicted to accumulate

• Duration and timing of the snow and/or ice event

• Temperature and wind chill (for safety of walkers and students at bus stops) – we will receive direction when it comes to closing school due to extreme temperatures.

• School building conditions (electricity, heat, water)

• School parking lot conditions (safety, accessibility)

• Current weather conditions, along with predicted weather, but closures cannot be determined solely on predictions.

• Consultation with the pastor, PEC chair, other nearby staff members and Catholic schools, including Holy Cross Secondary.

As a reminder, although we do our best in the decision-making process, if the school is open and you, the parent, feels as though it is not safe for your child to attend school, you have the option of keeping your child at home.

USED UNIFORMS

Used uniforms are needed to help re-stock the shelves for our used uniforms.  If you have any used uniform items to donate, please contact Angeline at:  useduniforms@stbernadette.ca

All proceeds generated from the sales of used uniforms comes directly back to the school.

Learning to count is good.

Learning what counts in life

is better!
