Message From Administration
We are very excited to be hosting on February 3rd at 7:00 p.m a Social Media presentation with Chris Vollum for our parents and adult community members. We know that social media plays a critical role in the lives of our students and often can cause anxiety and can influence our child's self-worth and wellness. Learn how to positively promote the use of social media in your child's life. Bring your mobile device or tablet and get a hands-on experience. There are still spots available. (To register click here.)
Report Cards will be sent home on February 29th. Our goal is to provide parents with a clear understanding of their child's academic achievement and to provide an opportunity to assist your child in developing positive, specific and achievable goals for growth for the next term. We appreciate the time and effort of parents and students as you outline on page 4 of the report card the area your child has most improved in, as well as how you will support their learning. If a parent would like a report card sent to their home via mail, please provide the office with a self-addressed stamped envelope.

WINTER WALK DAY is Wednesday, February 3, 2016
This Canada-wide event will see school kids from coast to coast to coast walking to school together for one special winter day!
Dress in your finest winter gear and make the walk to school a new habit.
Remember what many famous explorers have long known: there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing!
Students will be part of a Winter Walk Fashion Show Assembly on February 1st with special guest fashion models!! This will give them some great ideas for dressing properly.
EC's Lost & Found
As our school community grows, so does our Lost & Found collection. Please help us reduce the number of lost items by writing your family name or your child's first name on clothing (especially mittens, hats, sweaters, coats, and shoes). Unclaimed items are checked for labels before being donated to charity at the end of each month. Our lost and found is located by the totem pole at the front entrance of our school. Please remind students to check there regularly if you notice that clothing has gone missing at home.
School Council Meeting:
Our next meeting of the Emily Carr School Council is on Monday, February 1st at 7 pm in the staff room. All are welcome.
School Council has been very busy planning some amazing activities. Please see the link to save some upcoming dates.
