Good Afternoon, Colonel Irvine School community,   

下午好! 学文学校社区, 

The month of October is flying by. We've hosted our two basketball games at our school. Both our junior and senior boys are off to a great start. We will be hosting our girls' teams in November.  

Monday is a non-instructional day for students. Teachers will be spending time working and collaborating together to best support the learning of students. It is a full working day for our teaching staff. 

Lastly, congratulations to our girls' soccer teams who won their semi-final games this week. They will be in the finals at home on Tuesday.  Good luck to our athletes and coaches. 

A quick reminder that we have our second parent council meeting, and we are in need of more participants. This is crucial for running our school. We hope to see more parents/guardians on Tuesday at 6:30 at Colonel Irvine School. 

As always, thank you for your continued support. 

Ms. Ko & Mr. McDonald
