Hello Grade Six Students and Families of Bridlewood School,

Please know that we care for you and are thinking of you during this historic time with school being cancelled. We need to think about community and how we can take care of each other.

Throughout grade 6, we have learned the importance of using our voices in positive ways to make a difference.  Last week at Outdoor School, you were all an amazing support for each other and showed that kindness is powerful and can go a long way.  Please remember at this time to take care of each other, love one another, have hope, keep positive, show kindness, be compassionate, spend time with your family, have peace, remember to laugh, have conversations, read, get outside and be active. 

Though many families and friends may be unable to physically get together, let’s try to think of ways that we can continue to spread kindness and cheer at this difficult time.  For example, you could draw and colour some pictures of something that brings happiness to you and your family to post in your front window. We hope this kindness and joy will spread and give strength when it is most needed.

As we are unsure at this time what is next, please stay tuned for updates that will be sent as more information becomes available.

Dear Parents & Guardians

Based on the changing provincial and local response to COVID-19, the CBE has given us direction to postpone:

• Evergreen Theater Performance:  Friday, March 13 @ 10:15 am. CANCELLED

• Student-Led Conferences:  Thursday, March 19th & Friday, March 20^th CANCELLED, booking system will not open.

• We will still be having the Scholastic book Fair, however due to the directive, parents will NOT  be able to attend, as conferences are cancelled.

All CBE schools have been given direction to postpone or cancel events that include populations from other schools and/or parents or other community members, such as Parent-Teacher Interviews, celebrations of learning, drama/musical performances, dances, athletic competitions, etc. This decision is effective from Mar. 12 until the end of March break. This decision will be revisited during March break to determine whether events should be rescheduled.

Events outside of school hours that include the regular student and staff population of the school (school clubs, practices, etc) and scheduled field trips may continue at this time.  

I know this may be disappointing news. Students and staff have spent a significant amount of time preparing for these events, but the health of our community is our priority.

For the most up to date information about the CBE’s approach to COVID-19 and the actions we are taking, please visit our website. Answers to frequently asked questions will continue to be posted as information becomes available.

Thank you,

Erin Tourigny
