Hello Families,

We hope you had a wonderful weekend! Walking around the neighbourhood, it feels like December brings out a little extra kindness—more nods, smiles, and cheerful greetings. We hope you’re enjoying this special time of year as well.

❄️ What To Do If the Weather Turns Snowy

The Vancouver School Board has procedures in place for severe weather events such as heavy snowfall or high winds. Schools will remain open whenever possible. If a District-wide closure is necessary, it will be announced by 6:30 a.m. Updates will be shared through local media, the VSB website, school websites, and official social media channels.
