Before you leave for school, please remember to complete a daily health check to make sure you're child's "good-to-go" for attending school. It's made easier with the BC COVID-19 Thrive app for daily health checks. You can download the app from this website: https://bc.thrive.health. 

Please remember to contact the office if you are keeping your children at home for any reason (ie. doctor or dentist appointments, illness (Covid or other), at home self-monitoring due to possible Covid exposure, etc.). Phone Mrs Taylor at 250-339-1200 or email office@gaglardiacademy.ca. Thanks for helping us with this!

There might be an opportunity for Yokefellow After-School Club to extend their current Tuesday-Thursday after-school service to include Mondays as well. (With Monday leadership also provided by our most excellent, Judy van Boven. Woot!) If you are interested in this opportunity or know of someone else in our school community who would be, please contact Mrs Taylor at 250-339-1200 or email office@gaglardiacademy.ca. The more who are able to use this service, the more likely it will be started!

Please remind your children to dress appropriately for the weather! This also applies to high school students who have a staggered entry with grades 5-6. High school students must wait to enter at 8:40 am and if they're waiting a long while, it can be cold...and wet! 

Our new K-3 playground installation will commence on Jan. 22 and 23. The weather looks promising for the build so please come out and be a part of this legacy for our children and future generations. We need more volunteers to make it happen. To sign-up, email Mrs Mulgrew directly at accounts@gaglardiacademy.ca or contact the school at 250-339-1200.
 
Thanks for all of your support and to those who have already signed up! It's much appreciated. 

The school is following the BC CDC protocol for close contacts as was linked in Mrs Pitcher's email (sent Wednesday, Jan 12). If it wasn't clearly communicated, please note that all unvaccinated students and staff (or those that have not had covid in the last 90 days) cannot attend school for 10 days following exposure but must self-isolate at home.
