Principal’s Message December 2020

We did it!!! We have kept everyone safe with no Covid-19 cases coming into the school during 2020. Thank you to our staff, our students, our families, and our community for doing their part! We could not have done this without the whole team effort.

Over the last few months, we have been working on family engagement and our learning. Social media has really supported our engagement with families and community members.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Staff at Avonlea School

Happy November, everyone! It has been two months since school start up. Students and teachers are

students, and school community for following the health order and school guidelines so that we can all

Dear Parents:

As we look forward to the second month of the school year, the health situation in our schools allows us to make some adjustments to our initial plan.  Today we would like to outline the expansion of people who will be allowed into schools as well as some school and community program expansion.  These adjustments have been approved by local Public Health officials,

Terry Fox 2020

This year is the 40th Anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope and Avonlea School is proud to be continuing the legacy of one of our greatest heroes.  Although we cannot maintain our long-standing Dunnet Park traditions,  it is very important to continue to honour Terry and his important work.

There will not be any pledge forms going home this year, but we are hopeful that families will continue to support the Terry Fox Foundation by contributing online.
