COPACS Parent Involvement Meeting 


Parent Involvement Meeting: Policy 1100 Meeting is on Thursday November 9th. Each PAC that fills six or more seats at the meeting will get a price. There are treats and door prizes!  Childcare will be available (please contact us to confirm so we can plan accordingly).  There will be a short discussion on the policy and then an interactive information session. It will be a great evening with lots of information shared so please join us! More info to come. 


November Hot Lunch 


Our November Hot Lunch includes Booster juice and Sushi. If you haven't placed your order yet, please do so at https://ples.hotlunches.net . Deadline to order is Nov 10th.  


Art Cards Fundraiser 


Our classes are now busy working on art projects for our winter Art Card Fundraiser. PAC volunteers will take a photo of your child’s art and make it into 5 x 7 or 4 x 5.5 cards. These high quality cards will be sold as packages of six. They make great Christmas cards! Look for order forms to become available by Nov 1 and the order deadline will be November 17th. 


October PAC Meeting Minutes 


We had a great turn out at our October PAC meeting. Thank you to all who joined us. Here are the meeting minutes of what was discussed: Meeting Minutes.


School Travel Safety Survey  


Today is the last day to participate in the School Travel Safety Survey. If you haven't done so already, please take some time to fill out the only survey on this page prospectlake.metroquest.ca. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete. One survey per family is all that’s required.  

 If you have any questions about the survey or the Active and Safe Routes to School program, contact Kate Berniaz, Active Transportation Program Manager, at kberniaz@crd.bc.ca.  


Goldstream Field Trip is Next Tuesday 


During our school wide Goldstream field trip on October 31st the PAC will provide each student with a hot dog and a hot chocolate free of charge. We would like the opportunity to express our big thanks to Lisa Jones for kindly donating the hot chocolate and coffee again this year. We suggest you still send your child with additional snacks to supplement this lunch if necessary.     

There is no need to order this standard meal. But if your child has an allergy and requires a dietary alternative you will find other options on the hot lunch site.  

If you are able to help prepare and distribute lunch that day please sign up through  https://ples.hotlunches.net . It’s a great way to meet other parents and spend time with the kids in the great outdoors!     


If you have any feedback or questions, please email your PAC at prospectlakepac@sd63.bc.ca .
