!!!Official Bell Schedule Change!!!
It has come to our attention that school starting at 8:54am and ending at 2:59pm is not ideal for children, families, and teachers. We have shifted the bell schedule by one minute in the morning and one minute in the afternoon so that school will now begin at 8:55am and end at 3pm.
Old School Hours/Bell Schedule:
- School began at 8:54am
- School ended at 2:59pm
New School Hours/Bell Schedule:
- School begins at 8:55am
- School ends at 3pm
- PAC Meeting in Learning Services Room 9am-10:30am

Online Payments & Online Forms
The Sea to Sky School District has rolled out School Cash Online, an easy to use, safe and convenient way for parents and guardians to pay for their children’s school fees, such as field trips.
Powered by the Canadian firm KEV Group, School Cash Online strictly adheres to Canada’s privacy and anti-spam legislation and meets the latest industry standards for payment security. Any Canadian data collected is held on Canadian servers.
Online payment is the preferred method of settling school fees and all parents are encouraged to use this system.
The Annual Student Personal Information Tech & Media Form 706.1A(b), The Student Information & Technology (ICT) Agreement (K-6 students) need to be signed every year by parents. We are also having all parents sign the Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy Act Consent for Web 2.0 Tools 708.1A(a). This form will only need to be signed this year. These forms have also been uploaded and should be signed through School Cash online by September 18th .
Here at Garibaldi Highlands we have a few rules regarding bikes on school property. These rules are intended to keep our students safe while on school grounds. All adults and children on school property during school time as well as during drop off and pick up must follow these following safety rules.
- Bikes MUST be walked at all times on school property, with the exception of the actual roadways in the parking lot and bus loop. There should never be anyone riding any sort of bike on a sidewalk, a walkway, a courtyard, or a crosswalk for any reason.
- Bikes on the roadways MUST follow traffic laws and the flow of traffic. The bus loop must be entered on the same side a car would enter and ridden through in the same direction a car would go, and the parking lot should be ridden through in the same direction as cars drive.
- If a staff member asks you to dismount from your bike for any reason that staff member must be treated in a respectful manner and the direction must be followed.
