Dear Simon Fraser Families,
We hope everyone had a wonderful week. This week the Principal's Council presented a Mental Health Minute about procrastination. They did an exceptional job! We look forward to welcoming our returning students from the HUB on February 1st.
Important upcoming dates:
Friday, January 29, 2021 – No School (Organization Day)
Monday, February 1, 2021 semester 2 begins
Monday, February 1, 2021 report cards available for viewing online in PowerSchool
Wednesday, February 17, 2021 – Gr.9 Vaccination

Bussing information:
Some families may see changes to their bussing route in PowerSchool. It is important to check regularly next week. These changes are coming into effect due to bussing services that are required for the returning HUB Online students. This change will be effective on February 1st.
Website and High School Updates:
The principal weekly message will now appear as a news story in the Banner. Please visit the
Simon Fraser website often for updates on school events. The
Preparing for High School page is now updated with information for 2020-21. The site contains important documents and virtual open house information. There will be a new online transfer form available very soon. We will notify our grade nine parents when this form is available for use, and you will find it on the Preparing for High School Page.
Lockers:
Feb 1 students will have access to their lockers.
Dressing for the Weather:
Next week the weather is going to get chilly. Please ensure your child is dressing warm. We will continue to have time for students to eat indoors if they so choose, but it is mandatory for students to go outside and get some fresh air. This changes when it gets to -20. Then students will remain inside for the entire lunch break.
Enjoy the weekend and we look forward to welcoming your children back on Monday!
Laureen
