Peace Arch Elementary parents

This web blog is for all parents and was originally created for the parents of Peace Arch Elementary School. In recent months we have seen a number of parents visiting this site from several countries around the world and perhaps parents from other school districts can share their experiences, thoughts and comments to help us all make our schools a healthier and better place for all our children.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, contribute and share your ideas and comments. ~~~~~~~

Over the last few months we have had so many serious health issues that pertain to our school which directly affect the health of our children.

This web blog has been put up to provide a central place for all parents to turn to, to leave comments, ask questions and communicate.

As parents it is important for us to be able to stick together and protect our kids as best we can. Let's make our children's school as healthy as possible by voicing our concerns and our recommendations and hopefully our strength in words and numbers will lead to a healthier school for our kids.

This Just In...

I was recently emailed about some updated changes to take effect at Earl Marriott Highschool as a direct result of the changing schedules for the kids next year.  Because of going onto dual bell schedules with a difference of about 1 1/2 hours in start and finish times for the students, the following changes are to take place:

1. There will be no honours math offered to grade 8 students...the reason...because of the new schedule it can't be worked in...heard this from two parents after their kids were trying to do course selection....
2. For Morgan/Rosemary Heights students the first bus will pick the kids up at 6:55AM...these kids are going to be zombies plus standing out in the dark for most of the year waiting for the bus...this is 25 minutes earlier than the current schedule....big impact for familiesI think this is only the tip of the iceberg...

What other changes good or bad are we going to see in the near future?
