Hello everyone.
Now that classes have been finalized, we can settle into the business of learning. I would like to thank
everyone for their patience and understanding throughout this process. It seems that many of you had a good
summer and are returning refreshed and recharged for the upcoming school year. As mentioned in the August
Newsletter, we have a few new staff including our new vice-principal, Mr. Frank Chan. Make sure to say hello
to him when you see him outside. Apparently, he knows a little about basketball and has declared Mission
Central to be the next basketball powerhouse in the Mission School District.
Parents are encouraged to use School Cash Online to pay for school activity fees and planners. You can sign
up at https://mpsd.schoolcashonline.com. We welcome families to explore the school’s website where we will
be sharing updated school information and exciting events and activities happening at Ecole Mission Central.
Be sure to check the school website for links to PAC and Hot Lunch.
As you can see below in Upcoming Events we already have a number of activities planned. We hope to see
as many families as possible for the Upcoming Welcome Back BBQ on Friday, Sept 22.
The first few weeks are always extremely busy. If you need to speak to myself or Vice Principal Chan, feel free
to chat with either of us outside in the morning or after school. If this is not an option, phone ahead to arrange
an appointment time. There may be other times when we will be too busy to meet with you right away,
therefore, the next best way to reach us is via email, and we encourage you to email us anytime at
andrew.merry@mpsd.ca. or frank.chan@mpsd.ca . Do not hesitate to say hello! As a staff, we are looking
forward to the many new experiences and adventures we will pursue with your children this year.
