Please be reminded that Confederation Park Elementary will be CLOSED between
Friday, December 22nd to Friday, January 5th
for Winter Break.
We will be welcoming students & staff back to class on:
Monday, January 08th 2024
All schools will remain OPEN unless there is heavy snowfall, damage, or other circumstances – such as a power outage – that make it impossible to open for instruction.
We do our best to communicate school or district-wide CLOSURES by 6:30am.
Please note that no announcement will be made that schools are open, except under extreme circumstances.
The information about closures will typically be posted on both the District website and X/Twitter account. However, please keep in mind that there may be situations where this is not possible, such as a power outage. Another way to learn about school closures is through local news stations (online, radio, and TV). Generally, only closures or delays are announced.
Student safety is a responsibility we share with families. Please walk your child to the door of the school if you are unsure whether the school is open. If for any reason you feel that your student cannot travel safely then please, as you normally would, notify the school that your child will be absent.
If weather conditions deteriorate throughout the day and create a concern for the safety of students returning home, a decision may be made to dismiss students early. This will be communicated to parents in the best way possible through the schools’ normal communications channels.
If weather conditions result in a decision to cancel evening classes, this notice will be made mid-day and posted on the Burnaby CCE website.
Additional information can be found in our Policy Statement.

Thank you to our school community for making the
Art Show Fundraiser on Friday night such a huge success! A special THANK YOU to our amazing PAC executive members who started working on this project last June and the many volunteers that helped before, during, and after the actual event!
We are fortunate to have such a generous and supportive school community.
Please support Confederation Park’s Fundraiser for the BC Cancer Foundation.
We have chosen this fundraiser in memory of our beloved Miss Jackie Fischer. You can make donations online through this link. In addition, we will be selling candles and cards at the Art Show’s Marketplace. All funds raised will be donated to the BC Cancer Foundation.
Staff and students will be celebrating Hallowe’en on Tuesday, Oct. 31st and your child is invited to dress up in a costume for the day. Please, however, have your child refrain from wearing any costumes that could be perceived as scary or threatening. We also ask that NO WEAPONS, scary props or Prop MASKS be brought to school. Certain costumes can be intimidating for the younger students and we want to ensure that everyone feels safe on this day.
*Please also note that we ask that costumes follow our district guidelines as per the attached document entitled, ‘Culture is Not a Costume .’
Parents are welcome to join us in the school gym at 2:15PM on this day to watch some of our students perform some short songs and dances, and also participate in a costume parade.
If you are sending treats to school, please ensure these are individually wrapped.
Please contact the school office or your child’s teacher if you have any further questions.
Happy Hallowe’en, everyone
