Good afternoon families,

Here are a few reminders and updates as there have been a lot of notices sent home lately.

Science World Field Trip (Yellow form):

Our field trip is this Thursday April 23. Volunteers have been contacted and will arrive at Suncrest at the same time as the students to help us get organized, meet their groups and go over the day. An updated schedule will be provided to volunteers on Thursday morning.

Your child will need to wear:

  • Closed Toed Shoes (runners/ sneakers)
  • Bright Colours or Suncrest Clothing (easy to spot)
  • Bring a ball/ cap or a rain coat (dress for the weather)

You child will need in their backpack:

  • Snack
  • Water Bottle
  • Lunch

**Please refrain from bringing toys or money for this field trip**

Burnaby Village Museum (At school experience/ Blue form):

Thank you to families who have already paid for this experience. It is my first time trying out this workshop and I am excited that the Burnaby Village Museum can come to us. My sister, who is also a teacher and works at Clinton Elementary in Burnaby has done this program and her staff recommended the program for us to try as we are a similar age group.

I have already connected with Ms. Boleak to see which families still need to pay and hand forms in for this experience. School Cash closes tomorrow and I will connect with families through email tomorrow for forms and payment that need to be completed. I need to drop off the cheque by the end of this week at the museum.

Student Led Conferences on May 7 (Pink form):

Student Led Conference forms went home last Friday and are due Friday April 24.

Student Led Conferences are from 2:15-6pm and we will have an early dismissal on May 7 at 2pm. This fifteen minute buffer allows me to set the classroom up for a 2:15pm start. We are very flexible with times and we will have a similar layout to our previous portfolio shares with some stations to visit with your child within our classroom.

I will be sending home a slip for each student to take home confirming your time. If I receive all forms this week I will send out confirmation slips on Friday April 24 in your child’s planner.

Thank you,

Ms. Ciolfitto

Good afternoon families,

We are already in April! Hope everyone had a great Spring Break! We have been taking the last few days to reconnect and begin our 3rd term units. We have some exciting things going on this term!

April 2026 Calendar

Attached is our April Calendar.

Walking Challenge

This month Suncrest is participating in the Walk30 Challenge. We will be going on walks with our buddy class Div 5 and when our schedule allows. Please be prepared to go outside rain or shine.

Field Trip

On Thursday April 23 our class is going on our first field trip along with Div 8, 9 & 10 to Science World. We will be taking a school bus and have room for 4 parents to join us on the bus and for free to chaperone during our trip. We will be spending the day there and participating in a Matter workshop in the afternoon. Please see the form coming home today in your child’s planner pocket to sign the form, payment on school cash and to select if you would like to be a parent to come along with us. First 4 parents to submit the form back will be coming along with us. We need 4 parents to meet the ratio for the workshop!

Attached is the notice going home. Please note School Cash is only open April 1-8. If you are on holidays and away from Suncrest you will need to have this payment in by April 8.

We have fun lunch this term on both Wednesday and Friday. If you have purchased fun lunch please do not forget to also bring a snack for our snack time after recess.
