No School Tomorrow (Friday May 15th 2026)
Reminder to students that there is no school tomorrow (Friday, May 15, 2026) for students, due to a Professional Development (PD) Day. There will also be no school on Monday, May 18, 2026, in recognition of the Victoria Day holiday. We look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 after the long weekend!
School Playground Use During the School Day
Recently we have had to remind individuals that our school playground is not available for use during school hours. This is an important safety measure. During the instructional day, staff need to be able to clearly identify all adults on school grounds and ensure they are authorized to be here. This includes students and families who have recently been dismissed from our kindergarten classes. When additional adults are present on the playground, it becomes much more difficult to quickly determine who is a parent, who is staff, and who may be an unknown individual. Limiting playground use during school hours helps us maintain secure supervision, protects students, and supports a safe and focused learning environment for everyone. We appreciate your understanding and partnership in keeping our school community safe.
Kindergarten Orientation
We are excited to invite families to the Kindergarten Orientation for the 2026–2027 school year at Olympic Heights School, which will take place on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 6:45 PM. This important event is a valuable opportunity for parents of registered students to meet our dedicated Kindergarten teaching team, learn about the enriching program we offer, enjoy a presentation from our current teachers, explore our learning environments and resources, and ask any questions you may have about the upcoming school year. A member of our school administration team will also be present to share insights and answer questions about our educational approach and community. To ensure the session is as informative and comfortable as possible, we kindly ask that this orientation be attended by parents only.
Outstanding Fees Reminder
This is a friendly reminder that some families currently have outstanding fees on their child’s school account. Most school-based fees are related to field trips, which operate on a cost-recovery basis to cover expenses such as transportation and service provider fees. Unpaid fees can significantly impact the programs and resources available at our school, including student technology, art supplies, library materials, and other learning supports. For your convenience, payments can be made online using credit or debit through your MyCBE account. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the main office.
