Team and Class and Panarama, Club photos - April 17 Grade 6/7 bike program Talent Show – May 10.  Sign up outside Ms. Rose’s room and auditions will start April 23 Welcome to K May 15, 10:45am – Someone from PAC comes to speak (Theresa Wong) Info Night for Camp Jubiliee April 30 – For gr. 5 and 6 parents this year since those are the kids who will go to camp in Sept. 2019 Bollywood Dance week May 26-31   Registration:  40 K’s currently registered, not all from our catchment because surrounding schools are full We will now have over 300 students at Debeck SD38 Staff meeting: April 30 to determine how many divisions we are getting and whether or not a Vice Principal will be coming   School Timetable 2019/20:  We have until April 12 as parents to let SD38 know what our thoughts are on setting a new timetable for school system (start and end times, early dismissal days, recess/lunch time slots)   Student Learning Survey: aka (Student) Satisfaction Survey.  Parents can fill it out online (Debeck website) even though students are supposed to fill it out   Students who are returning in Sept. late, not on first day, will need to notify school asap or their spot may be forfeited.     Victoria Trip Cancellation:  Gr. 6/7 Teachers said the agenda is so full that they would not be able to fit in another field trip with all that is going on.  The newly added item on the school calendar is the FREE Bike Program. Parents suggested to perhaps cancel that to make time for the Victoria Trip.     Teacher Volunteer commitment required and Wanda cannot “require” that they do it.  Debeck tradition that a 1) Victoria trip and 2) Camp Jubiliee happens on an alternating yearly basis.   With Admin turnover, information of the Victoria Trip was not given as a “must do” priority, so Wanda will talk to Mr. Hurst to get more information and then talk to the teachers.     Wanda is wondering if PAC can fund school buses to make it a smoother trip to Victoria.  PAC will consider funding the school bus to transport students from Debeck to Ferry Terminal – one way.   *Possible to schedule this in during the week of June 10-14 or last week of June.*   6.0 OLD BUSINESS:   LIBRARY Mrs Borthwick update – ipad minis arrived? tables?
