Great turnout this evening @Ballenas5 for the Canadian University Event (CUE). Fantastic opportunity for our community to connect with post-secondary options from across Canada.

Becoming a good teacher starts with supportive admin and colleagues. This allows you to build student success by going outside the box. Having students willing to come along for the journey also helps. tinyurl.com/5ynmxstj #STEM @ScienceCdn @ISED_CA @Ballenas5 @SD69Qualicum

B.C. Premier John Horgan has declared Monday, Sept. 19, a day of mourning as the late monarch Queen Elizabeth II is buried in the U.K. Students and staff will not be in session on this day to recognize her passing. conta.cc/3da1uHA conta.cc/3LfX4f6

@brayden_gordon @ElemOceanside @SD69Qualicum Thank you so much for welcoming and celebrating our @Ballenas5 grads - such a fantastic day!

Proud to host this years @SD69Qualicum “Grad Walk” at @ElemOceanside to honour this years Gr 12 grads…and how cute are the littles by “gifting” drums to the big kids! Huge thanks to Linda for the welcome and blessing song, & for all the staff & students for lining the hallways🎉

Today will be a Snow Day in @SD69Qualicum. Buses will not be running and staff will not be expected to travel until road conditions improve. Be safe, everyone.

Here is my letter to ⁦@SD69Qualicum⁩ parents, guardians, and staff regarding the delay to full school opening. ⁦

School return will be delayed for one week for most BC students so staff can plan and make changes to school safety plans. More information will be shared in the coming days. twitter.com/ctvvancouver/s…
