🏃‍♂️ Cross Country Meet Success!

Congratulations to all our runners who participated in this week’s cross country meet at Poirier Elementary! We are grateful to the staff, students, and parents who helped make this event such a success.
Way to go, Sticklebacks! 🐟

📚 MyEd Reminder

Learning updates, attendance records, and other important information are available through MyEd. If you have lost access or need assistance navigating the system, please contact Ms. Wass at our main office.

🚪 School Entry and Exit Procedures

A reminder to families: if you arrive outside of regular entry and dismissal times, please drop off or pick up your child at the main office. As part of our school security procedures, using a single point of entry helps us keep everyone safe.

🔥 Fire Drill Success

We completed our scheduled fire drill this week, and students and staff exited the building quickly and quietly. Well done, everyone!
This is also a great opportunity to remind families about the important emergency preparedness work supported by the District of Sooke. Visit their website for helpful family emergency planning resources.

Welcome back!

We hope you had a restful holiday over Spring Break and enjoy some warmer weather this weekend during the Easter weekend!

As you can probably see, our weekly reminders will be coming home using a slightly different format moving forward. We have renewed our accessibility to our website and would like encourage families to use this as a primary source of information for our school. You will now find that our calendar is now up to date on the website and this week’s update has been shared through here as well. We hope this serves you and our community well to find out what is happening in our school and as a space to promote community events through this service.

PAC Bottle Drive NEXT WEEKEND!
Gather up those bottles and cans from the festivities this weekend and drop them off in our parking lot on April 12 between 10 and 2 to support our PAC. Proceeds from these events go directly to support projects and resources in our classrooms. Thank you in advance for your support and those volunteering their time to sort bottles. For more information, please contact sookeelementarypac@gmail.com
