1st Day is Just Around the Corner!

August 25, 2023

Hello Everyone!

It is exciting to be coming back, and we are looking forward to seeing all our S.T.A.R. students very soon. Returning to Silver Creek is a pleasure. However, the impact of the fires will be felt by so many for quite some time. My heart goes out to all. We recognize that some students and their families will appreciate patience and support during this time. Please do not hesitate to let me know if our team can assist in any way.

This September, we are welcoming some new staff members and reconnecting with staff who have been part of this vibrant school community for several years. Teacher postings were sent out yesterday for all positions that were not filled in early July. Our Division 3 teaching position has been posted for the full year and Ms. West has extended her maternity leave. We are optimistic that this full year position will be filled with ease and in time for September start-up. In addition, we are looking forward to finding out the results of the interviews for the Seamless Day position for the afterschool program.  

Please feel free to give me a call at the school or e-mail me at sgriffit@sd83.bc.ca if you would like to chat!

Sincerely,                                         

Sydney Griffith

Principal
