In September 2020, Burnaby StrongStart BC programs will continue to engage in outreach to families via emails, phone calls, and offering StrongStart services online.

There is currently no in-person StrongStart BC programs in Burnaby Schools.

 We are looking into a variety of options that will enable us to offer in-person StrongStart BC programs. Programs will be at reduced capacity that are consistent with Stage 2 of the K-12 Education Restart Plan. “Reduced capacity” means that we will limit the number of families attending in order to maintain safe physical distancing. We will also reduce the number of hours per day and/or days per week of StrongStart BC operations to accommodate cleaning and disinfecting protocols.

 Please continue to visit our website for the latest updates. We look forward to when we can welcome you back in person! To connect to your StrongStart Educator’s Blog Post please click on the link below:

Dear Parents/Guardians:

As our school year comes to a close we wanted to ensure that you were informed of the school schedule for the last week of school as well as when you will be able to pick-up your child’s report card. For those students who are attending in-class instruction their report card will be handed out to them from their classroom teacher on the day that they are in school. For those that are doing only on-line learning there will be multiple opportunities for you to come to the school and pick-up your child’s report card as well. Please see the schedule below:Report Card Pick-Up Parent letter
