May is Child Care Month! Sea to Sky School District acknowledges and celebrates the incredibly valuable work of all early childhood educators and responsible adults working across the school district. We are lucky to have school district and community-based professionals facilitating early learning programming in Infant and Toddler programs, Preschool-aged programs, StrongStart, Seamless Day, and Out of School Care programs on school grounds. We know that these educators provide safe, nurturing environments that foster a sense of belonging and support the development of social and emotional skills that are foundational in a child’s life. The patience and care that these educated professionals provide to children and their families is recognized and appreciated this month and every month throughout the year!

Please join us in acknowledging and celebrating the work of our child care staff and the positive impacts they have on children, families, schools, and our community!

Premier David Eby has declared Friday, May 2, 2025, as a provincial day of remembrance and mourning to honour the victims of the Lapu Lapu tragedy. This day offers an opportunity for British Columbians to grieve together and recognize the victims’ contributions to their communities.

An online book of condolences is available for signing until Monday, May 5.

Flags across the province, including in our district, will remain at half-mast until sunset on Sunday, May 4. They will return to full mast on Monday morning, May 5, when school resumes.
