Orange Shirt Day  at Suncrest is on Thursday, September 29th.  We are encouraging all students and staff to wear orange to support children everywhere.

Wearing orange  is meant to recognize the harm that was done to residential school students and to show a commitment to the principle that every child matters.

Friday, September 30, 2022 marks the 2nd National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 

All schools in British Columbia will closed on this day.

The day honours the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

Friday September 23 is a Professional Development Day so students will be at home while staff are busy learning!

Our Welcome Conversations for parents of Gr. 1-7 students will be Tuesday, September 27 and Wednesday, September 28 starting at 2:15 pm. 

On both Tuesday the 27th and Wednesday the 28th we will have an early 2pm dismissal for all students K-7 to accommodate our meetings.

This is a 10 minute virtual chat (not at the school) meant to provide initial contact between parents and teachers and an opportunity to briefly discuss topics such as goals and expectations for the year, student hobbies/interests, school/home responsibilities and any questions that you may have.  Scheduling links will be sent home Thursday. 

If you are not receiving e-mail from the school please contact the office with your e-mail address. Thank you!
