PRINCIPAL'S CORNER WITH MRS. GREEN
Dear Parents,
As we embrace the beauty of spring, I wanted to take a moment to extend warm Easter wishes to you and your family.
Spring brings with it a sense of rejuvenation and growth, both in nature and in our school community. It's a time for fresh beginnings, blooming possibilities, and celebrating the joys of learning together. We're making great strides in math and reading, and your continued support and involvement are vital in achieving success.
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter filled with joy, love, and the beauty of springtime!
VICKERS VOICES
To: Our Vickers Family
From: The Constant Family (Kirby, Candace, Laryn, Keaton, and Kyler)
We, the Constants, have woven our lives into the rich tapestry of Vickers for the past four years. Our journey with Vickers didn’t start with a choice; it felt like destiny. In our quest to find a nurturing environment for Keaton, our vibrant son brimming with life and unique needs, Vickers emerged as a beacon of hope. Whether he’s lost in the rhythm of his drumming or soaring in his wheelchair, we’ve found solace in knowing Vickers is a place of unwavering support and empathy.
Kyler, our grade 2 trailblazer in French immersion, embarked on a linguistic adventure, despite our home not whispering a word of French. Encouraged by his fluent French speaking godmother and bonus sisters, his journey has been a revelation, opening our eyes to the beauty of French learning through him. The Vickers staff, creating an environment where inclusivity and the on-going encouragement to flourish, has been nothing short of miraculous.
Laryn, our eldest, joined the Vickers fold mid-way through her sixth-grade year, and it was as if the universe aligned. The warmth and acceptance she received have made it seem as though her roots were always here, allowing her to blossom in newfound confidence and independence.
Our hearts are full of gratitude for the Vickers collective—staff, students, and families alike—that transcends the traditional bounds of a community school, becoming a cherished extension of our family. As a mother, entrusting your most precious ones to the world can be daunting, yet my heart rests easy with Vickers. Here, compassion intertwines with discipline, crafting an environment where not only are my children safe, but they’re also cherished for who they are and inspired to discover who they can become.
In every note of encouragement, every gesture of inclusion, Vickers has not just educated our children; it has elevated our entire family. We stand in heartfelt thanks, proud to be part of this extraordinary family.

This fee is collected to assist in covering the costs of optional activities or events that would enhance the regular school programming and would enrich the education of participating students. Some examples of these are out of school educational experiences, activities, presentations and/or speakers.
The fee is $10.75 for Kindergarten and $21.00 for Gr 1-8 & Dev Ed.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
Our staff parking lots are a “no drop off zone” as they are out of bounds for students.
We urge parents to support us in this safety endeavor by dropping off your children on the west side of the school on Olive Diefenbaker Drive; on Bradbury Drive, east of the Special Needs bus zone and between Gisi Road and Olive Diefenbaker Drive.
We encourage the children to cross all streets in a safe manner by crossing at the corner or at cross walks. Teacher supervision is also provided at our major crosswalks.
The Community Club rink parking lot is the bus pick up zone after school for our parents to meet their children for pick up. Please refrain from turning around in the driveways, as this is disruptive to the homeowners.
