Families at Fernwood Elementary School on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, are receiving the latest updates on school life following the release of the March 5, 2026, newsletter. This update provides essential information for parents and guardians as the community prepares for the upcoming Spring Break.
Along with the newsletter, the school published the latest meeting minutes from the Fernwood Elementary Parent Advisory Council (PAC). These documents allow local families to stay informed about recent activities and decisions made by the parent-led group within the Gulf Islands School District.
The timing of the release comes just before the start of the holiday period. Students and staff will be away from the classroom starting March 16, 2026, with Spring Break running through March 27, 2026. Due to the district’s four-day instructional week, classes will resume on Monday, March 30, 2026.
In its official communications, the school notes that it sits on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples. This includes the Hul’qumi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples who have long inhabited the region.
