A look back at last week
Basketball Season
Congratulations to the Girls and Boys Play Day teams on their success at Play Day this week. They had some tough competition but showed excellent sportsmanship, teamwork and a significant improvement in skill from the beginning of the season. A big thank you to their coaches; Ms. Anderson, Ms. Howes and Mr. Loewen for the boys and Ms. Flint and Ms. Kang for the girls. Also a big thank you to the parents for getting the children to school for early morning practice and for transporting to games. Great season, everyone!

WE SHARE THE AIR - BE SCENT AWARE
Many students and staff members have significant allergies and sensitivities to perfumes, aftershaves and other strong fragrances. Thank you for helping us contribute to a SCENT SAFE environment by refraining from wearing scented products.
EXTENDED ABSENCES
Each school year we are approached by an increasing number of parents who with to take their child(ren) out of school for extended periods of time. Cougar Creek does not sanction the absence of any student during the school year for any reason other than illness or bereavement. However, we understand that time with families is important and travel distances sometimes mean that school absences are unavoidable. Please be aware that any planned absence greater than 10 school days requires the student to complete an Extended Absence form and the parents must arrange to meet with the Principal prior to ensure a clear understanding of the academic impact of such absence.
STUDENT ABSENCES
Please report all student absences by either calling the office at (604)-591-9098 or by e-mailing cougarcreek@surreyschools.ca and include the following information:
- Student's name
- Division or Teacher
- Reason for absence

Student and Family Affordability Fund
Hello Cougar Creek Families,
As shared this past fall, the Student and Family Affordability Fund is designed to assist families who require financial assistance with school-related costs in the following areas:
- - school and course fees
- - school supplies and course materials
- - field trips
- - school-related extracurricular opportunities
The additional funding is also used to support school meal program and other nutritional supports for students.
Please reach out to Ms. Manery at manery_t@surreyschools.ca if you are in need of assistance. As always, all requests will be treated with dignity and your privacy will be respected.
