Good evening Simons Valley families
As we enter our final weekend before the summer officially begins for our students, we have a little rainy weather to deal with. Fortunately, our school council chose the right night to have our ice cream truck with the Play and Stay event. It was great to see so many families enjoy our playground and socialize. The weather next week looks great and we are excited for our sports day!

Grade 6 Celebration
Join us for an informal after-school gathering for students, staff, and families. Enjoy snacks and drinks available for purchase from our on-site vendor or bring your picnic and relax with the SVS community. Fundraising supports school initiatives; Students must bring their own money if they wish to purchase snacks.
While the event begins immediately after the assembly for Grade 6 students and their families the entire SVS community is welcome to join us at 3:50 PM to celebrate and take photos. Note there was a communication error last time with the start time...it is 2:00 start.
* All children must be accompanied by an Adult.
Thank you for your support!
Sports Day June 24 – Volunteers Needed!
All students will participate in sports day the afternoon of Tuesday June 24. Please have your child dressed apparently for the weather as they will be outside for about 2 hours.
We are still looking for volunteers to help run the stations. If you have your volunteer clearance and would like to volunteer, please stop by. All volunteers can start at 1pm and meet in the office.
June is National Indigenous History Month
Every June, we honour the heritage, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in Canada. June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day, a time to reflect, learn, and grow together.
This is a meaningful opportunity for our school community to deepen our understanding and build stronger relationships through shared learning.
We encourage families to explore these educational resources:
