SPRING CONCERT on Thursday, June 1st
Please note that the evening concert is completely at capacity so those that got your forms in on time will get your requested tickets. There are still available spaces at the afternoon concert at 1:00pm. Sorry for any inconvenience if you did not get the tickets you were hoping for. Please be flexible in your thinking, as we have done our best to accomodate your wishes. Thank you in advance.
Regular Reminders:
- Please do not park in the staff parking lot or staff parking spaces on Matson Road when dropping off your children. There are very limited spaces and if you are parked in the spaces, the Ruth King staff will have no spaces to park.
- If you are running late, please drop off your child at the front door and let the staff take them to class. You can pull up to the front doors and drop off. There is staff there to greet their smiling faces.
- If your child is going to be away from school, picking up early for appointments, or late picking up, it is important to email your child’s teacher and Ms. Jodi our secretary (jward@sd62.bc.ca) to let them know directly. Also, if you plan to pick up your child early, please email the same people to let them know.
- Please remember to keep your children home if they are not feeling well. We have had to send several students home who have come to school sick. We are trying to keep everyone safe. Please follow these guidelines as COVID is still happening.
Please remind your child not to bring toys (including Pokemon cards) or other sports equipment from home to school unless it is requested by the classroom teacher. Electronics should also stay at home as well. Thank you for your continued help with this policy.

MESSAGE FROM THE PAC:
This year’s PAC AGM is on June 13 via Teams at 6:15pm. We will be electing next year’s council and we are hoping to bring in some new volunteers to join our collaborative team!
All of the council positions need to be filled this year: president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, emergency preparedness rep, SPEAC rep, fundraiser, hot-lunch coordinator and some members at large. We meet virtually, once a month on the second Tuesday.
The positions that we are most in need of are treasurer, fundraiser and hot lunch coordinator. The treasurer does the council’s book-keeping, tracks spending and funds raised and collected, writes out payments, and reports to the council each month. The fundraiser schedules, coordinates and helps run the various fundraising events during the school year, along with other volunteers. Many of these events are repeats of ones that have been done in previous years, and there is a template to follow to organize those.
The hot-lunch coordinator organizes the twice-a-month lunch events, which have currently been split between Pizza Hut and Whitespot. This person will need to have or get their Serving it Right certificate, and be available on the hot lunch days (usually Fridays) to be at the school to help receive the food and distribute it to the classes.
For more information, contact the current PAC at ruthkingpac@gmail.com.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s on this email! Hope you are all having a fantastic day with your children. The weather is beautiful so hopefully you were able to get outside!
As the weather is getting warmer, please have your children wear sunscreen as we are still going outside at recess and lunch. It is also important to send them with a water bottle. We do not provide water bottles at school as we have water fountains. Some children do not like the water at school so sending in water is important.
If anyone has an extra fan that they are not using and would like to donate to the school, we would all greatly appreciate it. The school does not have air conditioning. Just bring it to the office if you have one to donate. Thank you in advance.
We have many field trips coming up so please make sure you have signed all the appropriate forms and please fill out the consents online if you have not done so already. They have to be done every year and serveral parents have still not completed them. See below for the link. Thank you

Our school has been participating in a pilot school meal program entitled “Setting the Table” as you all know. Each class has had the opportunity to try out the food. Please ask your children for their feedback. The program is seeking input from parents whose children have participated in the program in order to support its ongoing development. Please consider taking a couple of minutes to complete this brief, anonymous survey:
