Hello Brentwood Eagle Families,


We wish to thank you for your support and understanding as we worked this spring to create new ways for learning during difficult circumstances. The constant throughout this time has been the joy and excitement we see in our students whether that is remotely or during our more recent in-person connections. As we move towards the end of this school year, we want to draw your attention to a few important pieces of information. 


Last Day of Instruction

There are some important changes to note for our end of year. In preparation for various year-end procedures, the last day of instruction for all students will be Wednesday June 24th. This will also include all ESW students. 


Tuesday, June 23

Students who are attending a Monday/Tuesday cohort will have their final day on Tuesday June 23rd. At this time, those students will receive their report card and take home any of their personal belongings and supplies. 


Wednesday, June 24

The Wednesday/Thursday cohort will similarly take home their report card, personal belongings and supplies on Wednesday June 24th. This will be the last day for this cohort. 


Thursday, June 25

Students engaging in remote learning have an opportunity to pick up their report card and belongings on Thursday June 25th. The following processes will be in place for that day: Between 9:00am and 1:00pm, please drive through and stop at the cross walk in our parking lot. A staff member will collect your child’s report card and bring it to you. 


Student Device Return

During the COVID 19 public health emergency, schools needed to find a way to pivot to a remote, online learning environment. Through incredible cooperation of schools, custodial and health and safety staff, transportation and technology teams we were able to distribute many devices to students safely and efficiently. As we close this school year, we must collect these devices and return them to their schools.  Please follow the below instructions to return a device:

  • Please drop off student devices on June 25 between 9:00am-1:00pm (for remote learners) at the same time that you pick up report cards. Please ensure that you bring the charging cable as well.

  • If your child is attending in-person, please have your child bring the device back to the school with the charging cable during the week of June 22.


All neighbourhood schools in Saanich will be closed for instruction during the summer. Please continue to look on the Saanich Schools website for more information on school start-up in September. Parents will also be contacted through the email address we have on file for you at the school when more information from the province is available. As always, should you have questions, please contact our Principal, Sara Salemink at ssalemink@saanichschools.ca. We thank you for your flexibility and understanding, and we wish all of you a safe and happy summer.
