As the heat warning for Vancouver has escalated to an Extreme Heat Alert, there will be no school instruction/classes at any #VSB39 schools tomorrow (Monday, June 28, 2021). The District asks parents/caregivers to please keep their children at home.

@TyeeElementary @VSB39 Thank you to the Tyee teachers who sent out emails today letting us know what they will be discussing in class and about Orange shirt day. As an #Option4 mom I will be talking to my kids this week about the past, the present, and what they can be part of for Canada’s future. #215
