Open Parachute is an innovative platform designed to support children's mental health and well-being. Parents can sign up to access resources and tools to assist their kids in managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. The platform offers evidence-based strategies and techniques curated by mental health professionals to empower parents in supporting their children effectively. Through Open Parachute, parents can gain insights into their children's emotional needs and learn how to foster resilience and coping skills. By creating a supportive environment, Open Parachute aims to equip parents with the knowledge and resources necessary to help their children thrive emotionally and mentally. We use this platform at FES so the language and videos will be familiar to your children.
The link below will take you to sign up as a parent.

Sleep for kids
Life is busy!! Here are some good habits and a guide for sleeping! Check out the link below. As a parent of two kids, these are some strategies I have been working on with my family and I wanted to share in hopes it helps others. The link below discusses many things as well as screen time before bed.

Our lost and found is growing. Please come into the school through the front doors, sign in at the front desk, and have a browse. We will be collecting items for the school to use or donating the rest to the Thrift Store as of March 15th.

NUTRITION
Students do and think best when they have positive role models, and when foods offered both in and outside classrooms are in line with healthy eating messages.
Resources for parents:
Vegetables: A kid-friendly approach
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
At FES, we believe that no student will be denied access to programs, services or educational opportunities provided by the school because of financial need. Parents, caregivers or families needing school related financial aid (school/District fees, field-trips, school supplies, etc.) are asked to contact the Principal to make arrangements so that ALL our students have equal access to all the educational opportunities offered.
MEALS PROGRAM
FES will continue to provide nutritious lunches for students in need through the School Meals Program. Parents who wish their child to take part in this program can contact the Principal [fruitvale@sd20.bc.ca].
HEALTHY SNACKS
While ‘treats’ are nice, it is important to send healthy foods and drinks to school. For PE and regular water hydration, due to COVID-19, our water fountains as bottle fillers work great. We do have bottle filling stations and encourage all students to have a re-fillable bottle.
Metal or 'Eco' friendly plastic bottles are preferred for safety considerations.
Thank you for your cooperation with this.
