Hello Parents/Guardians,
Please enter your child’s arrival travel information by midnight, Sunday, August 27. Any travel requests or changes after this date will have to be arranged by the student/parents.
It would be very helpful, for the coordination of student pick up/drop off, if a note could be made in the MySchool comments section that your child is bringing a bicycle, boxes, skis, or more than 2 bags of large luggage.
If you plan on bringing your student over on the ferry, by car, for the start of school, please consider booking a reservation with BC Ferries (BCFerries). This time of year can be very busy for ferry travel.
