Welcome to 2024-25 School Year!

Dear Students and Parents,

I would like to welcome all new and returning students to John Barsby Community School. At John Barsby we believe in the power of kindness and community. As we move through this school year, I
encourage each of you to show kindness at every opportunity. Include others and speak up when you see people being less than their best selves.

As a learner, I hope that you stay curious and work towards finding your passion. There will be learning opportunities each and every day, contribute by working to the best of your ability and by collaborating with others.
Finally, find ways to be a part of and contribute to the Barsby community. There are numerous curricular and extracurricular opportunities available. The community is what you make it – you will only get out what you put in, find something that interests you and join.

Wishing you all a year of kindness, curiosity, and deep learning!

Try your Best,
Do the Right Thing,
Get Better each Day – It’s the Barsby Way!!

We believe strongly in working in partnership with parents. We encourage you to connect with us anytime via phone – 250-753-8211 or email jb-secretaries@sd68.bc.ca to schedule an appointment. Regular updates are posted on our
website: https://jb.schools.sd68.bc.ca/.

We are committed to helping our students find their passion and providing opportunities to build strong home-school partnerships to support your child’s success.
