Last years record heavy snowfall during the winter holiday created unprecedented snowfall removal challenges at most of our schools. In an effort to improve district response to extreme weather conditions, the district has prepared a detailed snow removal plan. It includes detailed site plans for each school that principals will share with parents and staff. These plans have also been shared with the City of Burnaby and roles and responsibilities clarified.

The health and safety of our students and staff at Burnaby School District is always a priority. As we head back to school with the cold and flu season upon us, we will be focusing on prevention. We encourage you to become involved too. Discuss at home and practise as a family the three key prevention measures to help us keep our schools healthy.  Updated health information as it pertains to our schools will be posted to this page on the health information button to the right. We look forward to a productive, healthy and safe 2009/2010 school year.
