Friday, November 26th is a District wide Professional Development Day.  School is not in session for students while the adults in our building are busy learning.  Enjoy the long weekend!

Although we are not able to have our traditional public Remembrance Day Assembly, Suncrest will be having a virtual assembly on Wednesday, November 10 to commemorate this very important occasion.  We will record the session and, barring any technical issues, share a link to the assembly with families later that day.

We will be collecting donations for the Canadian Legion on Wednesday should you wish to contribute. You may also donate to the Legion directly by clicking HERE.

Schools are not in session on Thursday, November 11 as we take time to recognize the sacrifices made by our Veterans.

Suncrest will have two school wide Halloween activities this year.  The first is a scaled back pumpkin patch and hot chocolate during the morning of Wednesday, October 27th  and the second is the opportunity to wear school appropriate costumes on Friday, October 29th. 

We will share the schedule for Wednesday early next week and parents are welcome to be on the perimeter of the pumpkin patch along the inside of the park fence to watch. Please send a plastic bag to help your child transport their pumpkin home and back to school on Friday once it has been carved.

Student costumes for Friday should not include full face masks, depict violence in anyway, or be overly revealing.  We also ask that costumes do not depict or reinforce cultural or gender stereotypes .  Thank you for your help in making Friday an inclusive and fun day for all of our students!

Just a reminder that Friday, October 22 is a Pro D day. 

No school for students while staff are busy learning.

Enjoy your weekend!

Mountain West Studios will be at Suncrest during the morning of Wednesday, October 20 to take individual student photos.
