ATTENDANCE:

  1. Lates: a student will be considered “late” after the 8:45am bell. If their teacher has already taken the attendance when they arrive to class, the student must sign-in at the office and collect a late slip to let their teacher know they have signed in at the office.  All lates will be considered “unexcused” unless a parent has notified the office prior to arriving.
  2. Absences: if your child will not be attending school please either phone and leave a message on the office answering machine (604-981-1210) or email the teacher and copy the Chartwell office (chartwell@wvschools.ca). Please call/email each day unless you have notified the office of a long term absence.  If no notification is given, the office will email or phone to confirm your child’s absence.
  3. Long Term Absences:  if you know that your child will be away for several days (for example, on vacation), please contact the office and inform us of your child’s last day of attendance before leaving and first day of attendance upon return. You will not need to call in everyday and will not be notified during your time away.

PARKING:

Please be aware that there is currently no visitor parking in the Chartwell lot.  Street parking is available both above and below the property with walk-in access to the school.

During drop-off/pick-up times please heed the signs. There should be no parking or stopping in the round-about.

Volunteers/Visitors:

Visitors are welcome; however, they must proceed directly to the office. Upon arrival, please ensure that you sign in at the office. You must also sign out upon leaving. Besides the obvious reasons, in the event of an emergency, it is imperative that we know who is in the building.

  • What a Changing Profession Is Trying to Tell Us
    There is a shift happening in our schools, and you can feel it. You see it in the staffroom, in the parking lot, in the subtle ways younger teachers talk about their work. They draw clearer lines between school and home, speaking about boundaries and balance with an ease that still makes some of us […]
  • Is Prompt Engineering Really the New Future Skill?
    Last week, I sat in an education conference listening to a keynote speaker who was absolutely unequivocal about it: students must learn prompt engineering or they will be left behind. The speaker was passionate, convincing even, about how this was the essential skill for the next generation. And as I sat there, I found myself […]
  • The Human Half: AI, the OECD, and the Future of Educational Leadership
    Inspired by the recent Learning Forward BC conversation on human flourishing and AI. Last week, I spent three hours tweaking a PowerPoint presentation I already had help with. At the same time, I had to decline a visit to an elementary class exploring AI tools. The irony? While I was perfecting slides, they were shaping […]
