We hope you are all enjoying a fun long weekend together. Remember, no school tomorrow for Family Day! 

This past week, Lochside raised over $1000 to go towards earthquake relief in Turkey and Syria. Way to go Lizards!


We Really Need Volunteer Helpers

February 26 - Bottle Drive


Please save your empties for our bottle drive this coming Sunday!

The no-sort bottle drive is super easy to help with. You just need to keep an eye on the bins and make sure glass stays separate. 


March 1-3: Book Fair
We REALLY need helpers on the afternoon of March 3.


Ongoing: Fun Lunches
Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far! We only need a couple more helpers for this Friday!


Annual District Parent Information Evening

The District is hosting its annual Parent Information Evening at Bayside Middle School ~ this Thursday, Feb 23 from 7 - 8:30pm. 

All PACs are invited to send 2-4 people. Trustees, school and district administration will also be in attendance. Please email us if you would like to attend!

Join the Indigenous Education staff in a guided session with the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada, a giant floor map. This Giant Map shares the stories, perspectives, voices and history of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. It includes historic and contemporary maps and explores themes of language, demographics, economy and culture.

Important topics such as treaties and residential schools are covered in-depth, as well as the contributions of Indigenous Peoples, their oral traditions and land-based knowledge.
