GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
Student Verification Information Forms are now overdue. Students, if you have not received yours yet, please come by the main office to pick one up - it is very important that we have an updated copy each year, regardless whether there are changes or not. Each one needs to be signed by a parent or legal guardian and returned to the office asap.
For Parents & Guardians: If your student will be absent, late or leaving early during school hours, we ask that you email stellys_attendance@saanichschools.ca to notify us so that we can update your students’ record appropriately. You may also phone in absences to 250-652-4401 (select option 1).
For those of you new to the school, or wanting to know where to pay for school activities/opportunities, our student fee payment portal is where it’s at (including, but not limited to, textbook deposit, activity fee, and yearbook purchase). You can find the link here - just follow the instructions for signing up or signing in. Please note that it’s recommended that yearbooks are pre-purchased prior to Spring Break to ensure your student gets one if they want one - we only order a few extras, so don’t miss out!
