We love our school, our students and our community!  Happy holidays from the staff at CTE!  We wish you a couple of weeks filled with joy, hope and love

Thank you to the PAC for organizing our food drive for the Westbank Boys and Girls Club.  As a school, we collected over 860 items!  Mrs. Madson's grade 4s collected the most from the intermediats classes and Mrs. Sikora's grade 2 class collected the most from the primary classes.

Well done Wolverines!!

We had such an awesome week at CTE!  Our focus was on community and having some fun (while learning!).  We started many days singing carols in the gym, and seeing what everyone wore for the spirit days. We also had our first snow day! 

On Friday we met for the first time in family groups, with the focus on building a greater sense of inclusion, belonging and community across the grades.  Multi-grade groups worked together to build igloos. Their teamwork was awesome!

For the safety of our students and school community, please make sure that you are driving slowly.  The speed zone near all schools in BC is 30 km/hr.  

Please note that the speed limit on school grounds (as shown) is 8 km/hr.  

Many families have expressed concerns with the speed of vehicles on East Boundary.  If you have a concern, please come to the office to fill out a concern form, with the license plate number. 

A reminder to all of our CTE Community that we are an All-Nut Aware School. As we have students and staff with life threatening allergies to nut products, we ask that families are extremely vigilant in ensuring that nuts or food containing nut products are not sent to school. Thank you for being proactive in your decision on what your child can bring to school. 

If your child rides to school on a bike, scooter, or skateboard, please have a conversation with them about traffic safety. Thank you for reminding them to walk (not ride) their bikes, scooters, or skateboards on school district property and for walking up and down the hill until they reach the road.  While travelling to and from school, students must wear a helmet. Bikes should be secured with a good lock in our bike racks located at front of school. Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe.

Thank you for sending your child to school with a pair of indoor running shoes. By changing into their indoor shoes as they enter their classroom, students can help ensure the cleanliness and safety of our school building.  These shoes need to be ones that your child can independently put on and take off.

Parents, caregivers and families are always welcome at CTE. Many have expressed interest in volunteering at our school. All volunteers must have a criminal record check completed through our school district. The process is free and criminal record check forms are available at the school office. A successful criminal record check is valid for four years. Please note that criminal record checks that are offered for a fee on various websites are not accepted by the school district, and neither are criminal record checks done for other organizations. If you have had a previous criminal record check and want to see if it is still valid, or have any questions, you are encouraged to contact the school office.
