​Best of luck to our competitors who will represent GPE tomorrow at Casorso Elementary during the competition.  Our Battle of the Book students have been plowing through reading selections this year and we look forward to supporting the selected students.  Battle of the Books is a motivational reading club for students in gr. 4- 6.  It encourages a love of reading and exposes students to a variety of authors and genres.v Thank you to Mrs. Rogall for your sponsorship of this program.  

Supervision is provided for students before school (8:10 am - 8:25 am), at lunch (11:10 am - 12:08 am) and after school (2:30 pm - 2:45 pm).  Please do not send students to school or drop children off at school prior to 8:10 am to play on the playground, and please pick up kids by 2:45. Thank you!

​ it’s a good time to refocus on arriving at school on time. We continue to have a significant number of students arrive late. Even a few minutes a day, adds up to substantial class time being missed over the year as well as additional teaching time lost for all students in the classroom while the teacher re-explains what is happening that morning. When students miss the beginning of the day in class they miss important information about the day and sometimes very critical academic instruction. I have watched the effect of students arriving late in classrooms and have noticed how disorientating it seems to be for the student who comes in part way through a lesson in progress. Avoid the undue anxiety that being late can cause… school starts at 8:25 am!

​ The student learners at George Pringle Elementary School are kindly reminding our community partners that at no time should their be dogs on our playing fields.  Unfortunately some neighbours have been using our campus with their dogs and leaving quite an unsanitary mess behind.  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter

​Please make sure you keep us informed of any changes with phone numbers, emergency contacts, and addresses throughout the school year.  For instance, when a parent uses our School Messenger system to report absences,  we need to ensure that the phone number you have on file with the school is the same one connected to this app.  Keeping our students safe at GPE!

growing kind and healthy hearts at GPE! As a community of learners, we strive to help our students develop attributes which will help them become active and engaged citizens who demonstrate a strong sense of personal and social responsibility. As learners, collaborators and contributors our students will be able to develop health knowledge and lifestyle habits that will contribute to a HEALTHY HEART. Our students will develop knowledge, skills and virtues such as empathy, respect, kindness, and forgiveness which will help them grow their already KIND HEARTs . By working together, we can focus on building the characteristics needed to encourage kind and healthy hearts. With our focus on reconciliation through indigenous education, we hope to help all of our students learn the value of knowing and respecting culture.

​From kindergarten to graduation, students will experience Aboriginal perspectives and understandings as an integrated part of their learning journey.  The inclusion of Indigenous ways of knowing and being is based on the understanding that Aboriginal perspectives and knowledge are a part of the historical and contemporary foundation of BC and Canada.  

An important goal in integrating Aboriginal perspectives into curricula is to ensure that all learners have opportunities to understand and respect their own cultural heritage as well as that of others.  There are two important aspects to embedding these principles of learning into classroom experiences.  First, all students will be celebrated as individuals in a strength-based, learner-centered environment and second, all students will be nurtured in their understanding of the healing around Truth and Reconciliation.
