Upcoming Parent/Caregiver Information and Sessions:

Lice Clinic

Schools regularly have to deal with the issue of what to do about head lice when it flares up. The spread of head lice is most prevalent in schools because students are regularly in close contact with each other. Head lice is passed by direct head to head contact 90% of the time. Our school community is the perfect place to start normalizing the subject of head lice.

We are asking parents if they are interested in bringing in the Greater Vancouver Lice Clinic to come and screen our school community.

In order, for the Greater Vancouver Lice Clinic to provide this service we would need enough students to sign up. There is a fee of $7 per student. The service will be provided after school hours in the school gym; however, the date and time is to be determined based on interest. Please note that the clinic does not offer lice removal services in school settings. If you are interested, please contact Tanya at pebblehills11@gmail.com. Please include your child’s name, their teacher and division number as well as your name.

2025 Vancouver International Children’s Festival

The 48th Annual Vancouver International Children’s Festival, which runs from May 27-30, will feature performances from artists far and wide. It also offers in-person programming to schools. For more information, please visit the 2025 VICF School Brochure.
