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 preferred language, in addition to English.  Visit our Language Ambassadors page for more information. The buttons below will help translate this website for you in your preferred language.

REMINDERS!

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

​Please also see see our Traffic Plan for parking or drop-off zones around the school. 

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 had an amazing turnout to the Ice Cream Social this past Thursday evening.  It was wonderful to see so many faces joining us for the first time as well as those of the families returning to Carisbrooke this year.  Thank you!

The Grade 7's would like to thank everyone for supporting their waffle bowl and cone sale at the social.
