Parent Pulse: October 2026

Meet your council team, gym curtains are funded, Winterfest is coming and an update on Kiss 'n Ride.

Confirmed

Meet your council team

Jess Jennings and Brittany Dawe are co-chairs, with Kaitlin Ring as secretary. All parents and caregivers are welcome at council meetings — even if you missed the first one.

Confirmed

New gym curtains are fully funded

The $8,800 fundraising goal has been reached, and a work order has been submitted. Installation timing is still to be confirmed. Thank you to the families, community groups and Spring Carnival supporters who helped make it possible.

In progress

Athletics first

Athletics and physical education resources are among the priorities being discussed for school community fundraising. Specific needs, costs and potential funding allocations have not yet been finalized.

Exploring

What else is being explored?

Options for improving the gym sound system, external grants for school priorities, and student play opportunities. These are exploratory projects, not approved purchases.

In progress

Winterfest is coming

Planning is underway for a December community event, with a possible used-book drive coming in November. Dates and donation details will follow once confirmed.

Morning Drop-Off & Kiss 'n Ride

Morning drop-off safety and traffic flow have been raised as areas of concern within the school community. Potential improvements, including whether parent volunteers could play a role, remain ideas for discussion. No changes to the current drop-off procedures have been announced.
