Hello Arbour Vista families,

Hope you had an enjoyable long weekend with time to relax and connect with family and friends. Long weekends offer a great opportunity to pause, recharge, and appreciate time together—whether that looked like getting outdoors, celebrating, or simply slowing down.

Sunscreen

With warmer weather approaching, we encourage families to send sunscreen to school for their child’s use during outdoor activities. Please note that aerosol cans are not permitted. Sunscreen must be in cream or lotion form and should be scent-free to respect allergies and sensitivities. Kindly label the container with your child’s name.

Reminder of the Upcoming Grade 7 Vaccines

Public Health is returning to Ecole Arbour Vista Public School spring Grade 7 vaccines on: Tuesday  May 26 , 2026.  Please click here for additional details.

Kindergarten Orientation

We will be welcoming our new cohort of JK students to Arbour Vista for their orientation on May 21th from 5:30-6:30. Looking forward to meeting our new Vipers.

Lost & Found

With the warmer weather, students have forgotten all about their missing sweaters and jackets, and as a result our lost and found bin is bursting at the seams. Please encourage your students to look through the lost and found items before  the end of next week. All remaining items will be donated  following May 28th.

Family Fun Night

The Arbour Vista School Council is thrilled to invite you to this year’s Family Fun Night, taking place on Thursday, May 28th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.

We are also very excited to feature our Basket Draw! Over the past several weeks, classes have been working together to create themed baskets. When you arrive, your child can pick up draw tickets to use toward the basket draw, which will take place at 7:15 PM that evening.

We look forward to seeing you there for a wonderful night of community connection and celebration!
