Congratulations to Hafsa Ahsan, Anaya Seraj, Shyla Bhadhawar, Jayven Gill, Harveer Perhar, Rishan Golar, and Aryan Kapoor who attended the 56th Annual Surrey School District Science and Innovation Fair on Thursday, March 2nd at Kwantlen Polytechnic University!

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. We want to work with our families to ensure that our students, your children, have everything they need in order to be successful at school. Please do not hesitate to reach out if we can help.
