Grizzly Gazette Jan 12 – 16

Dear Families,

It was a great week back! Teachers and staff were happy to see all students after the break and we look forward to new learning this year! We reviewed the expectations for being at school and had a school wide assembly on Thursday focused on the 4 ‘Be’s of Gibson that can be found on the crest. Be Kind, Be Safe, Be Respectful and Responsible. Please ask your student what these mean to them.

We also introduced Playground Pals. We are lucky to have some Intermediate students who have chosen to volunteer their time to support the primary students during lunchtime play. They are on the playground to play games, help everyone feel included and help solve minor problems. Adult supervisors continue to be on the playground to support everyone to be safe.

A special Happy Lohri to those celebrating next week.

Please Dress for the Weather

At Gibson, we understand the importance of outside playtime during our morning and lunchtime recesses. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather every day. This includes packing extra clothing and shoes in case a change is needed. We will head outside for recess and lunch every day, even during the West Coast rainy season! Please send extra clothes for your child to change into.

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.
