UPCOMING EVENTS & INFORMATION: 

SPORTS DAY: Friday, June 5th
Our annual Sports Day will take place on Friday, June 5th. This year’s theme is Beach Vacation! Please feel free to have your children wear any beach- or vacation-themed clothing they may have. Students should also wear whatever colour they have been assigned by their classroom teacher (red, green, blue, or yellow). The stations will be organized by the Grade 7 students and promise to be lots of fun! See notice sent home for details…

CLASS PLACEMENT:
During the month of June, the teaching and administration staff will be deciding on the preliminary placement of students for our next year’s class compositions. Previous academic success, social dynamics, placement history, gender balance, and overall classroom dynamics are all components for consideration when we make up the classes.  The ultimate goal is to place your child in a classroom in which they will flourish academically and socially.

• If you know of circumstances of which you feel we should be aware when considering the placements, please forward your thoughts to Ms Harrison (not the classroom teacher) in writing or by email (lharrison@deltaschools.ca) by June 1^st, 2026. This information will be shared with staff members and considered when the class lists are made and when they are finally confirmed, typically in September.
• If you have a request to make, it must include educational reasons that explain how your child will benefit. Please do not request individual teachers.
• Remember that we have many considerations in placing students and cannot guarantee to meet your request.

Understandably, the final decisions for student placements are left to the school administration.

Are You Moving?
If you know that you and your family will be moving out of the community this summer, please let us know as soon as you can. This information will be helpful as we plan the new school year. Thanks!

Cell phones / Personal Devices (including Apple Watches)
A reminder that in Delta Elementary Schools, personal digital devices are not to be used at any time during the school day, including during instructional time, recess, lunch and field trips. Students who bring them to school must check them in with their classroom teacher, who returns them at the end of the day. For illness or emergencies, the school office will make a call to reach parents/guardians.
