Dear Andrew Sibbald families,
I hope that all our families had a wonderful spring break! My staff and I are looking forward to seeing our students back at school and hearing all about their time off.
As we launch into spring and the last few months of this school year there is lots of learning, field trip opportunities and guest speakers planned. We are grateful for these opportunities to enhance our student’s classroom learning. Our volunteers and parent association are instrumental in their support for these school events. Thank you!
As we start planning for the 2026-27 school year, I would ask all families with children currently in kindergarten to Grade 4 to complete the following form. This will allow us to best plan, staff and schedule. Please complete this form by April 6, 2026.

Grade 5 Farewell & Transition Planning
Save the date! Our grade 5 farewell will be held on June 23, 2026, at 1:30pm.
Grade 5 parents, please note that school enrollment is based on home address and for our Lake Bonavista families, Nickle School is our designated school for middle years. Their open house is on the evening of May 7, 2026. To further support the transition to middle school, students will have the opportunity to visit Nickle, and our teachers will be working closely with the Nickle staff to ensure a well-supported transition. We will share dates and details as we know them.
Some updates from our School Council & Parent Association:
