WELCOME TO THE CARISBROOKE PAC!

As parents of a child at Carisbrooke Elementary School, you are automatically a member of  the Carisbrooke Parent Advisory Council (CPAC).

The Carisbrooke Parent Advisory Council (CPAC) is a registered charity, and works hard to supplement our children’s education and experience at Carisbrooke. The CPAC organizes activities and school community events for our children and families, and helps raise funds along the way. Thanks to these funds, our kids will learn more about the world and themselves - both in and outside of the classroom - through additional educational workshops and field trips for the arts, sports, and technology. The CPAC also acts as a voice for the concerns of Carisbrooke parents through liaising with the School directly, and with School District 44. 

We are very lucky to have such a dedicated and enthusiastic parent group to co-ordinate its talents and time to make all of these events so successful and enjoyable!  It takes a village to make Carisbrooke a great place to grow!

ESL PARENTS 

If you are new to Carisbrooke and your English is not 100%, we have a Language Ambassador Programme which will connect you with other parents at our school who speak your language, in addition to English.  Visit our Language Ambassadors page for more information. 

THIS WEEK AT A GLANCE:
Jun 29th - Sept 3rd

No school.  Summer holidays!!

REMINDERS!

Please be aware that there is no supervision at the school in the mornings and so children should not be arriving before 8:30am unless they are attending a supervised activity such as choir or a sports practice.

Don't forget that the Carisbrooke Morning Club for Gr. 3-7 students.  More information is on the Out of School Care page.

PLEASE remember to phone (604-903-2283) or email (carisbrooke@sd44.ca) the school OFFICE (not just the teacher) if your child is going to be late or absent.  The office staff would REALLY appreciate this as they are having to spend a good portion of their morning tracking down missing children.  Let's remember to call or email as we really appreciate this service.  Thank you.
The Gr. 7 students raised $229.10 at the last Freezie Sale and will be donating the money to the Fire Relief Fun established by the Lynn Valley Lions Club to support the victims of the Lynn Valley Fire.   Thank you for supporting!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the CPAC Activities Survey and the Out of School Programs Survey.  Your input is invaluable.

WHAT'S NEW?

OUT OF SCHOOL SURVEY

The Carisbrooke CPAC is aware that having options for student care outside of school hours is an important issue for our parents. Out of school care activities include both After School Activities on the school grounds and Regular Before and After School Care. 

Results for the survey can be found on the Out of School Care link above.

CPAC REVIEW SURVEY

Results of our CPAC Review Survey can be found on our What Do We Do page.
