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.

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.
Thank you to Nicole Robins for offering to take the CPAC Secretary position for next year.  We are still looking for a Fundraiser Coordinator (with help) and another Member-at-Large if you are interested.  Thank you again Nicole!

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. 

​Please help CPAC direct our efforts around our school's Out of School Care needs by completing this short CPAC Out of School Programs Survey HERE.  Thank you!
