Chantrell Creek News
April 24, 2019
Important Reminder:
We appreciate your cooperation in notifying the school office if you are moving and your child(ren) will not be returning to Chantrell Creek in September 2019. This information is very important and it assists us greatly in our planning process for next year. Also, if you will be on an extended vacation at the beginning of September and/or will not be attending the first day of school, please let the office know as soon as possible. We are unable to guarantee a space for any students that are a no-show by September 3, 2019 or are absent for more than 25 consecutive school days. If your child(ren) will miss more than 10 consecutive school days, please complete an Extended Vacation form (at the office). We appreciate your understanding and support in this manner. Thank you!

Welcome to Kindergarten and Ready Set Learn
Welcome to Kindergarten (WTK)
On May 29th, we welcome all our new Kindergarten students and their parents to visit our school and learn about the Kindergarten program prior to starting at Chantrell in September. Each child will get a package of books and materials for attending. This event will take place in the gym from 1:00-2:15pm. Invites will be emailed out to registered students - please RSVP to the school office at (604) 535-6708. We look forward to seeing our new K friends soon!
Ready, Set, Learn (RSL)
Ready, Set, Learn is a Ministry of Education initiative for 3 and 4 year olds, welcoming children and parents into school. This is a great opportunity for our preschoolers to learn about school and be able to participate in some fun activities. Parents will learn about the school and the resources available to them in the community. All participants receive a “goodie bag” of educational treats. Please pass on this information to any neighbours or friends who might be interested in this learning event, taking place on May 29th at Chantrell from 10:00 – 11:00 am. Please call the school office at (604) 535-6708 to RSVP.
School Head Secretary, Mrs. Jordan
You may have heard from either members of our staff or your child, that our Head Secretary, Mrs. Jordan has accepted a new position at A.J. McLellan Elementary in Cloverdale and her last day at Chantrell Creek will be on Friday April 26th.
We'll all miss the thoroughness and efficiency that Mrs. Jordan brings to her role, and also the special connections she makes throughout her day with staff, parents and students. Mrs. Jordan has many important roles in our school, but always takes the safety, security and well being of your children as a priority and I know our school community will miss this and the other great things that Mrs. Jordan has done for our school.
