October 30th

Hello Brackendale Families,

 

I hope everyone has had a great week and is looking forward to the Halloween festivities. We had a busy week of learning here at Brackendale Elementary, with lots of field trips, FSA's, classroom projects and assemblies. Add on a Halloween Parade and it makes for a full week. 

 

We hope everyone is able to stay safe this weekend and enjoy what looks like a dry Halloween. We ask that the Halloween candy collected on Saturday night be moderated and minimized in school lunches next week, as we definitely see an impact on students when they consume lots of sugar. 

 

Please note that our Lost and Found pile is starting to become unmanageable, and at the end of next week, we will be making a donation of unclaimed clothing. Please take the time to look at the clothing items next time you are in the building.

From the School District:

 

Sea to Sky School District is committed to creating safe, caring and inclusive learning environments where every student feels respected, connected and supported. 

We are pleased to share our new Student Well-Being & Safe and Caring Schools webpage, now available on district and school websites. 

 

This resource provides students and families with helpful information and supports on topics such as bullying, digital safety, attendance and mental health and well-being. It also includes guidance on how to report safety concerns, where to turn for help and links to community resources. 

 

We encourage families to explore the webpage and become familiar with the supports available.

Criminal Record Check
 

Dear Parents/Guardians:

 

Sea to Sky School District requires volunteers to complete a new Criminal Record Check every two years. When renewing your check, please select "Start a New Check" rather than "Share an Existing Clearance," even if the system indicates you have a valid clearance on file.

Access Code for Brackendale Elementary: EFQHCA7NB2

 

Instructions:

  1. Please follow the link and read the information provided.
    1.     Note that the CRRP is not affiliated with the police or RCMP and so any previous record checks done through them cannot be shared with us through the CRRP.
    2.     Two of the requirements to use the online process is living within Canada for at least 24 months and having at least six months credit history (for ID verification).

     If you fail any of the ID verification questions you will be asked to print off the application and have the organization (Brackdendale Elementary) verify your ID using two pieces of valid ID and provide a signed signature where it asks for it (under “To be completed by requesting organization”).

 

Drivers Abstract - Volunteer Drivers

 

The volunteer drivers need to fill out a Volunteer Driver Authorization Application, which includes a drivers abstract (ordered through ICBC) and have a valid criminal record check.

 

If you are willing to drive your child AND other children to an "away" school event, you will be expected to bring these children back to BRE at the end of the games as well, unless their parent comes to pick them up from the game.
