Dear Students, Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,

Happy Victoria Long Weekend! Despite the overcast skies and rain I have managed to so some yard work; maybe you got to work on your yard or garden, too. Big events last week included our PE 30 Hostel trip, Indigenous Family Gathering, Red Division Track Meet and our staff PD outing to Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. There is also an important notice about closure of student parking at Pearson. Please be sure to read it.

Hard to believe it is here, the major event next week is our Graduation Banquet on Friday, May 23. Read on: (see related information)

Important Notice – No Student Parking:

Effective Friday, May 23 – the student parking lot will be closed until further notice. This move was deemed necessary due to increasing concerns over safety for students, staff and the public. Our discussions with School Parent Council and School Staff support this decision. There have been injuries in student parking due to careless driving and stunting. There has also been vandalism to vehicles. The honking of car horns or purposely setting off car alarms has been disruptive to learning. Expectations regarding use of student parking such as no loitering in cars or the parking lot during classes have not been fully abided by resulting in lates and truancy. The student parking lot has also attracted individuals and their vehicles that do not belong to Pearson. It is hoped that student pick up and drop off at the beginning and end of the day will be safer and more efficient as a benefit. Students are encouraged to use public transit, walk, and bike or arrange for rides during this time.
