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.
We would like to give a special Thank You to our Fun Lunch volunteers who volunteer all year to help bring our kids Fun Lunch every second Wednesday and bring in a large portion of our CPAC fundraising for the year!

Thank you to the Hot Dog Day volunteers : Kelly Ockeloen, Gemma Sawyer, Nomi Diamond, Shauna Barber, Shannon Wheeler, Linda Senenki, Ashley Kureluk and Haewon Yoon lead by Tracey Meyer.

Thank you to the Pizza Day volunteers : Isla Robertson, Chelsea Edenshaw, Nicole Turcotte, Kamini Hitkari, Robyn Lim and Ashley Kureluk led by Gemma Sawyer.

Thank you to the Mixed Menu crew: Sheri Gul, Heather Elliot and Hedy Hislop lead by Leyla Nouhi.

Thank you to Luisa Kirk for creating all the ordering lists, bin lists and class lists for each Fun Lunch day. 
A special thank you goes to Michaela Brooke for coordinating the whole Fun Lunch program and filling in on Fun Lunch days when needed.  

I hope I didn't miss anyone.  Thank you everyone for volunteering your time to help with Fun Lunch.  We appreciate the break from making lunches and really appreciate the enhancements we can offer the school with the fundraising you raise.
