Principal's MESSAGE (February 25, 2024)
Dear REDFISH Families,
I hope this message finds you well on this somewhat dreary February night, as winter pushes back a little against what has been an unseasonable onset of spring. Here is a bit of REDFISH info as we gear up for the final three weeks of school before spring break…
SWIMMING + WATER SAFETY EDUCATION DAYS
REDFISH checked off three of its four Swimming and Water Safety Education days at the NDCC on Friday. Our final session is set for this coming Friday, March 1, 2024. Thanks again to the REDFISH staff, parent volunteers, and RPAC for their support!
T2 LEARNIG UPDATES (MyED Parent Portal)
As previously mentioned, REDFISH will be going paperless for its next set of learning updates which are scheduled to be uploaded to MyEducationBC on Friday, March 8, 2024. As we head towards and prepare for this date, please take a moment to ensure that you are able to access and log in to your MyED Parent Portal account.
Please note that we have added a MyED parent letter and a new webpage to our school website for additional information and instructions if needed. Please reach out to clerical.red@sd8.bc.ca if you are having any difficulties beyond what is covered in these resources.
REDFISH PAC EMAIL
Your REDFISH PAC (RPAC) is looking for help. Please refer to this weekend’s email from RPAC Chair, Chris Goggins, for more details. If you would like to be added to RPAC’s email list, or are interested in helping out with RPAC, please reach out to Chris directly at redfishpac@gmail.com.
