Inform| Athletics 

As our volleyball season concludes, we want to celebrate the hard work, teamwork, and positive spirit demonstrated by all our student‑athletes. Across every team, players showed commitment, resilience, and growth, both on and off the court. Thank you to our coaches for their dedication and to our families for their continued support. We are proud of how our teams represented Simon Fraser School and look forward to building on this success next season. Tonight, our Jr. Boys take the court for their final game, and win or lose, we are excited to cheer them on!

During this engagement, you will have the opportunity to: 

  • Learn About 
    • School planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget and school fees 
    • How the school development plan sets the overall focus and direction for a school to improve student learning outcomes 
    • How the school budget provides funding to implement our school development plan 
    • School fees and why they are necessary

Remind| School Conferences 

School Conferences are an opportunity to engage in conversation about your child’s learning. Parents/guardians and teachers can communicate openly about student learning, especially concerning areas of strength and areas of growth. They help build and sustain respectful relationships that allow both parties to share information and develop strategies to support student success. Please be aware of the following: 

  • Thursday March 19 In-Person from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm 
  • Friday March 20 Virtual via Microsoft Teams from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm

  • After booking, you will receive an email confirmation. For sessions booked for Friday, the email will contain a Microsoft Teams link. Additionally, your conference details will appear in your MyCBE account. We recommend adding these to your email calendar to keep track of meeting times and links (if applicable).  

Remind| Artisan Fair

The Simon Fraser School Student Artisan Fair will be running at Conferences on Thursday evening from 4-7:30pm. Students will be selling homemade arts, crafts, and baked goods. Please take time to visit the Fair to support our entrepreneurial students (Cash Only).
