September 13, 2021: Update for families from Fraser Health
Dear families,
As the school year gets underway, I am writing to share with you a back to school update from Fraser Health. Much of the information in this update will not be new for you, as I spoke to it in my August 27 letter. The update does address, however, the revised provincial notification process for school exposures. While Fraser Health will continue to work with schools to identify close contacts and to share targeted self-monitor and/or self-isolation notices with the appropriate students and staff, there will no longer be general school-wide exposure notifications to school communities. This decision was made by the provincial health officer. [Read more…]

Sept 28, 2021: PMSS Grad 2022
With the hope of more positive times ahead, I would like to put a call out for our PMSS Parent Grad Committee.
Our initial meeting will be by MS Teams, Tuesday, September 28th at 7:00pm. While I am optimistic, the Grad Banquet is obviously subject to change based off of Provincial Health Orders.
If you would like to participate, please email me and I will add you to the invite. An MS Teams link will be sent the day of the meeting, Tuesday, September 28th.
I look forward to working with you all.
