We want to thank the PAC for purchasing a Water Bottle  Filling station and thanks to the Maintenance department for installing it for us in the gym entrance.

The PAC and the Upper Pine School Community want to thank you for your words of support and encouragement after the loss of our Skate Shack. We will be hosting a community meeting in the future to discuss ideas for moving forward from here.

Grade 4 & 7 students and our staff will be completing the Student Learning Survey from the Ministry of Education. Parents/Guardians of Upper Pine students also have the opportunity to provide feedback through the same Student Learning Survey.

If you would like to complete the survey, go to the link below. To access the survey, in the parent section of the survey login screen, select Direct Access and choose School District 60, then Upper Pine Elementary School.  Participation is voluntary but your feedback is important to our school, SD60 and the Ministry of Education.

Here is the address to the online survey.  The survey is now closed. Thank you to all who participated in the survey, your time is appreciated. 

District Science Fair results: Congratulations to all our participants this year.

Gold: Maria Hansen, Amy Ballard  Silver: Kaden Baumeister, Keira Baumeister, Dakota Blaney, Jackson Willms, Julia Peterson, Joelle Shipley  Bronze: Hudson Hiebert, Piper Masse

Parents/Guardians of previous science fair participants we are asking if you could please check for the large wood science fair boards at your house as we have one that has gone missing. We would love to have it back as it was built especially for our District Science Fair participants. Thank you so much for taking a look.

Please take a look at our website at https://pine.prn.bc.ca it also has a calendar included that we try to keep updated as much as possible.

Have a great weekend.
