The Campbell River School District is reminding parents that the first day of school this year is Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2017 for most students.
Each school, however, has slightly different operating hours that day, so the district has provided a handy list so you know when you need to be picking up or dropping off your kids – or getting them to the bus.
The following information applies for all students with the exception of kindergarten students. Kindergarten students are on a “gradual entry” schedule. For the rest of the students of the district, however, this is how next Tuesday goes.
The district also wants to remind parents there will be no regular lunch program available at any of the middle and secondary schools during the first week of school.
