WHEN TO KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME FROM SCHOOL:
Please do not send your child to school if they are sick or beginning to feel sick. Illness spreads very quickly with close classroom contact. Please keep your child home if there are symptoms such as fever, coughing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash or generally feeling unwell. Proper rest helps them fight illness, and it prevents spreading germs to other students and staff. Please call the office at 604 596-1701 or email hellings.elem@deltasd.bc.ca to let us know when your child will be away.
Transportation Safety Reminders Electric Scooters (E-Scooters):
Students are not allowed to ride electric scooters to school or on school property. In B.C., e-scooters are not legal on roads, bike lanes, or sidewalks, except in a few cities testing them. Delta is not part of this test. Even in test cities, children under 16 cannot ride e-scooters.
Electric Bicycles (E-Bikes):
In B.C., students must be: • 14 years old to ride a light e-bike • 16 years old to ride a regular e-bike
Parents/guardians must not allow children younger than these ages to ride e-bikes. For more details: • [Electric Kick Scooter Pilot Project Regulation] • [E-Bike Rules of the Road]
If you have any questions, ideas or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
Sincerely,
Ms L Harrison, Acting Principal Mrs M Messer, Vice Principal
