MPAC Parents Feedback Survey

The MPAC Parents feedback Survey is coming April 23rd!! Get those thoughts together and charge those laptops.  Feedback from this SHORT online survey will guide next years MPAC Executive to set priorities, so be sure to have your voice heard!

IMPORTANT: Handsworth Update

At the meeting on April 15th there was a single neighbour opposing the proposed building permit and...the permit did not pass.  The NVSD is communicating with neighbours of the school about the benefit of the proposed track and field.  
We need parents to communicate that they are in favour of keeping the 6 lane track and field and having the building permit approved.  This will ensure that the capital project can proceed in a timely matter.  It is important that we as a community communicate our support!  Emails can be sent here.

LGBTQ+ Awareness

Do you think LGBTQ+ awareness and understanding is something you already have, or don’t need? Did you know that 1 in 5 BC students identify as not exclusively heterosexual? If that’s not your kids, it’s your kid’s friends... or your friend’s kids! Has your child or teen ever felt excluded or isolated? Isolation is difficult for anyone, but LGBTQ+ kids face this at home, at school, and in this neighbourhood. Let’s work together to build communities and homes that welcome diversity and discover how compassion and connection benefit every child and every parent. 

Join us on April 24 @ 7:15pm
5th Floor, Education Services Centre, 2121 Lonsdale 

to discuss this topic at our NVSD General Meeting
