Hello Families,
Some reminders for the start of this week:
PAC Executive Nominations for the 2016/2017 School Year are now open!
Elections will be held at the PAC Annual General Meeting on Monday, May 15th at 7:00 PM in the school library. You must attend in person to vote (no proxy voting) and nominations may be received at the meeting. Voting will be by secret ballot.
If you are interested in running for a position, wish to nominate someone (please get their permission first ) or have any questions, please contact the Chair of the Nominating Committee, Kevin Alexander at prospectlakepac@sd63.bc.ca or phone at 778-679-0277.
All positions are open for new candidates each year. Descriptions of each position are in the PAC Constitution found here.
It's very important that we get new parents to carry on in the PAC Executive roles. Some positions require more involvement and time than others, but most require just a couple of hours a month, and can be job-shared. Grab a friend and come out. Help your school and your children and meet new people and connect with the school community at our great little school.
Let’s Talk About Drugs
SD63 is pleased to share the attached information with you regarding an upcoming parent education evening focused on substance use and youth. "Let's Talk About Drugs" is a parent evening focused on opening conversation about youth substance use. A panel presentation comprised of Island Health, Centre for Addiction Research of BC, and SD63 counsellors will discuss issues covering current trends, protective factors, and practical resources. In light of much publicity, there is an opportunity to promote informed understanding and rich dialogue.
