The Grizzly Gazette January 19-23

Dear Families,

January is a time of great learning! Walking through the halls of the school is such a pleasure as the sounds of children’s excitement about learning can be heard. A special thank you to those students who shared their excitement and joy about their Lorhi celebrations. This week many students were also learning about Black Excellence as we honoured Black Excellence Day on Thursday. Ask your student about one new thing they learned this week.

Please note that there is a PAC meeting on Tuesday, January 20th at 6:00 in the Library. Everyone is welcome. In addition, Friday, January 23 is a Professional Day for staff at Gibson. Students do not attend.

Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten registration planning is currently underway. The Delta School District website has been updated to reflect this: IS YOUR CHILD TURNING FIVE IN 2026? Families will have the option to register online between February 9–20, 2026, or in-person at Gibson Elementary on February 10 from 9:30am-12pm.

Late French Immersion

Families interested in Late French Immersion (LFI) are invited to a parent information night. These sessions will explain what the LFI program is, what students learn, and what families can expect. The sessions are in-person and will be held on February 10 at 6:30 pm at Chalmers Elementary and February 11 at 6:30 pm at Cliff Drive Elementary. You will hear from students, teachers, and school Principals. There will be time to ask questions. Families can attend whichever session works best for them.
