Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to the 2025/2026 school year at Bert Bowes Middle School!
As an invaluable part of our support team, we look forward to working with you to assist your child during their learning journey!

MCFD virtual parenting sessions for mental health needs and prevention of substance use

As the weather warms up and students move outside for lunch, we need to remind everyone that Bert Bowes Middle School is a closed campus. This means that once students arrive at the school they are expected to stay on-campus throughout the day. 

This document outlines the District’s overall response in emergencies including the procedures that take place in the event of an emergency evacuation.

 
Emergency Preparedness Guide

School District 60 has added an updated emergency preparedness guide for parents and guardians on our website at https://www.prn.bc.ca/safety/plans-info/emergency-preparedness/ .

Learning Updates (Formerly Known as Report Cards) have been published to the MyEducation BC Parent/Student Portal for you to access. If you have issues logging onto the Portal there are several options for support:
