Coming Up at Coyote Creek November 13-17
Hello Families of Coyote Creek,
We have had a truly amazing week at Coyote. We have welcomed Ms. Gill to the role of acting vice-principal. Thank you to our families for all for your kind wishes and warm welcomes Ms. Gill has been receiving this week!
We have also spent time this week as a school remembering the great sacrifice of many in our Remembrance Day Assemblies. Please see the beautiful work of our students below:
We wish to remind our families that the school will be closed Friday, November 10th and Monday, November 13th for a non-instructional day and an in-lieu day for our national Day of Remembrance.
We wish all of our families celebrating Diwali this weekend a very happy Diwali!
Sincerely,
Coyote Creek Staff

Parents on the School Grounds at Lunch and Recess
We are noticing an increase in the number of parents coming to Coyote Creek at recess and lunch and connecting with their children on the school grounds. We wish to remind our families that all visitors to the school must check-in at the office and we will assist you in connecting with your child. This is to protect the safety of all staff and students at Coyote Creek.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Multilingual Guides for Parents and Caregivers
New multilingual guides for parents and caregivers have been created to highlight the district’s many animated mental health videos. Available in English, French, Punjabi, Arabic and Chinese, the one-page information sheets provide an overview of the topics of the 8 videos, and include a QR code direct link to them. The guides also include examples of questions caregivers can ask to prompt important conversations with children and youth, as well as a list of diverse community resources should families require additional support.
Links to the new parent/caregiver guides, as well as all of the mental health videos can be found here under Video Resources.
If you know your child will be away from school, please phone our school at 604 597 0858 and listen to the prompts (press 1) directing you to leave a message in our absentee mailbox. Alternatively, please email us at coyotecreek@surreyschools.ca at any time throughout the day.
Student Planners / Agendas
Families will be able to purchase planners sometime Friday, September 15th, using the District's School Cash Online system https://surreyschools.schoolcashonline.com/. Most divisions will use them, except for Kindergarten and a few other classes. Each morning the office will printout purchases from the day before, and provide planners to teachers for students who have purchased. Please note that some grade 7 teachers have the purchase as optional.
Gr. 7 Fundraising
We are beginning to fundraise for our Gr. 7 students this year! We will be hosting chip days on the following dates:
November 15th
November 29th
December 13th
Chips will be sold on site and will be $2.00 per bag (cash only).
Dressing for the Weather
Rain or Shine
A reminder that at Recess and Lunch students go outside rain or shine.
As the weather changes, please remember to send your child to school with appropriate clothing for the weather (jackets, boots, etc.), as well as a change of clothes for younger students.
