ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Nutella chocolate spread is NOT allowed at Dr. A.R. Lord Elementary School, and we ask that all families please respect the safety of our students.
Our school is now part of the BC Fruit & Vegetable Program. Fresh, local fruits and vegetables are available to students as a learning and nutritional opportunity at no cost. Thanks to our parent volunteer, Tracy, for coordinating this fantastic program! Families are asked to ALWAYS inform school staff, in writing, if a student is planning to leave school grounds for lunch times, appointments or other reasons. Thank you for helping the school keep track of all students during school hours - student safety is their number one priority.
We hope everyone has a great first full week of school!
AR Lord PAC.
