Volunteer Opportunities – 2024/2025 School Year
1. Parent Teacher Meeting Dinner Provisions – We are seeking help within our School Community to provide our teachers and staff who will be working late with a well deserved dinner break during the October 24th Parent Teacher Conferences. Please click the link below and please read over full description and comments carefully!
Teacher Dinner Provisions Sign up Link
Take note, both middle school and elementary school are separated into 2 sections. Each location will have slightly different requests based on individual needs.
2. KM Club Volunteers – KM Club needs more volunteers! Especially the important set-up and cleanup/counter positions are still vacant. We cannot run this event without your help!
Not only is this a great way to collect volunteer hours for the year while supervising your children during the run, you also collect points for your child’s class to win a free pizza lunch at the end of the term.
Volunteer descriptions and registration can be found in the sign-up link.
Upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences
Our first formal connection point – Parent Teacher Conferences is coming up this week on Thursday, October 24. These are scheduled times to meet with your child(ren)’s teachers to discuss their progress so far. An email was sent out last week with instructions on how to set up accounts and to book appointment times with teachers. The booking system closes this Wednesday, October 23, at 12:00 pm.
Updated Cell Phone and Technology Policy
This school year, BC Schools were required to implement cell phone policies that promote student mental health, and limit how much time students use their phones during the school day. We have included our updated cell phone policy with our laptop/technology policy in our Parent Handbooks, which can be found on the school’s website. You may also read through the policy HERE.

Equipping Parents Seminar #2
Join us on Monday, November 18th at 7:00 pm for an important seminar on protecting children from exploitation in Canada. For our 2nd seminar in our Equipping Parents series, our speaker from Ally Global will introduce The Prevention Project, an engaging, online platform offering free, age-appropriate resources designed to help youth understand the dangers of exploitation. You’ll gain insights into the risks children face online and in everyday life, as well as practical tools to help you recognize warning signs and start crucial conversations at home.
Whether you’re attending in person or via livestream, this session will equip you with the knowledge and strategies needed to engage in these important conversations with your kids. From setting boundaries to recognizing red flags to promoting safe online habits, this seminar is a must for parents who want to create safer, more informed environments for their children.
We look forward to seeing you there! A minimum of 10 people in-person is appreciated so our speaker isn’t presenting to an empty room. Please register your attendance.
Parent Prayer
You are invited and welcome to join other parents and our school administration to pray (even if you’ve never prayed before!). Please consider setting aside 30 minutes of your time at the beginning of each week to join us for Parent Prayer as we pray for our school, families, and community.
We meet at the Elementary Campus every Monday from 8:45 – 9:15 am (except for holidays).

KM Club
Kilometre Club is happening!
We are in the midst of our fall 7-week run/walk around McLean Park Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays from 3:20 – 3:50 pm, which started Monday, September 16th and will end Friday, November 1st. The events take place immediately after school, with warm up starting at 3:10 pm and runs starting at 3:20 pm sharp at McLean Park. Participants must register. If you missed the registration period please contact Maik Hassel at 604.315.8446 or with any questions.
This fall, we are trying something NEW: While the students earn “Milestone Tokens”, parents have the opportunity to earn their kids’ class a free Pizza Lunch at the end of the term!
Parents can earn participation points by volunteering at the KM club or running/walking a minimum of three laps during the club. The class with the highest parent participation points at the end of the term will receive a free pizza lunch!
Km Club is open to all students, staff, parents, caretakers, and daycare children. Parents or caretakers must be at McLean Park to supervise their child/children during Km Club. However, while supervising your child you may want to run or walk yourself, or you can volunteer.
Volunteering for Km Club counts towards volunteer hours and there are volunteer opportunities before, during, and after KM Club. Please see the volunteer descriptions and the volunteer sign-up link in the Volunteer Opportunities section of this Monday Note.
Please contact Maik Hassel at 604.315.8446 or with any questions.
