Dear Families,
As you already know, earlier today we informed families about a small fire that occurred at the school. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. We want to reassure you that everyone is safe and that the situation was handled quickly and effectively.
Out of an abundance of caution, the school will not be open for instruction tomorrow while we complete clean-up, repairs, and safety checks. The building will be operational only. If your child needs to retrieve personal items, families are welcome to check in at the office, and our staff will be happy to assist.
We are incredibly grateful to our staff for their calm, professionalism, and care for students throughout the day. We also extend our sincere thanks to the RCMP, Squamish Fire Rescue, and Brackendale Elementary for their prompt response and support.
Finally, thank you to our families and community for the many messages of encouragement and kindness we have received. As we restore the building, our priority remains the well-being of our students, staff, and school community.
We will continue to keep families informed as we move forward.
With appreciation,
Graham Jackson
Principal
