Good afternoon, Colonel Irvine School community. 

下午好! 学文学校社区, 

We’d like to thank everyone who attended our Lunar New Year celebration last night. We had over 800 guests celebrating with us. Terrific job to all our student performers and teachers for putting on an amazing show. During the day, all students were able to see the Lunar New Year celebration in the gym. They also participated in a Dragon parade and Lunar New Year activity in their afternoon classes. We also want to thank parent volunteers and former students that helped with behind-the-scenes tasks. We appreciate and value our school community. Wednesday, January 29^th will mark the New Year of the snake. May the Year of the Snake be filled with joy, happiness, good health, laughter and many cherished moments with your family and friends.  This celebration comes to life every year because of our dedicated Lunar New Year committee teachers and many others that put in countless additional hours to make it a success. We are fortunate to have them on our team.  

Just a reminder that report cards will be viewable on Monday, January 27 in your myCBE account. These are no longer printed, so please print yourself a copy if you need one. More details on how to access them are below. 

As always, thank you for your continued support. Together we can make a difference in keeping each other and our learning environment safe.  

Ms. Ko & Ms. Dalwood
