Dear Families/Caregivers attending the Elementary Track Meet at Royal Bay Secondary,
RBSS is excited to welcome back the Elementary Track and Field Event on Thursday, June 5th.
These events are a great way to celebrate sports. This event draws considerable public attendance and has a massive impact on the operation of Royal Bay Secondary School. The school has a population of roughly 1800 students and staff – so the parking lots around the school are busy.
Here are a few reminders for your day at the Elementary Track Meet:
There is no parking at Royal Bay Secondary School. See Parking information below.
Families must not use the bus loop or the drop-off lane at RBSS. Drop-off is done at the parking lot off-site. See below.
Students and families are responsible for all of their own garbage. Please put garbage in the garbage bag or take it home.
There is no access to Royal Bay Secondary School.
Bathrooms are outside at the Field House, and not in the school. These will be clearly labelled.
There will be a concession provided by the Royal Bay Leadership Class
Parking Information
Please make sure to only park in the designate parking area. This includes drop off and pick up as we cannot accommodate the traffic in the lanes/loops in front of the school.
To access the parking lot:
Turn south off of Latoria Road onto Quarry Road
Take your first right onto Tradewinds Avenue
The parking lot will be on your left
Please see the attached map for a visual location of the parking lot with walking directions to the track at RBSS.
Thank-you for your support and we look forward to a great day at the Elementary Track Meet. See attached map below.
Enjoy the meet!

Welcome to Savory!
We are pleased to invite you and your child to our Savory kindergarten orientation. This year, our
incoming kindergarten students will have the opportunity to meet our two kindergarten teachers
and our early childhood educator and experience a small piece of what kindergarten is all about.
This will be a special time, so please leave younger siblings at home, if possible. We will meet in
our gymnasium. You will be introduced to school staff and a member of our Parents’ Advisory
Council. Your child will get to participate in some introductory kindergarten activities in our
gymnasium. There will also be some information to help you prepare for a successful kindergarten
year. We are really looking forward to welcoming you to our school and having this opportunity to
share our school with you and meet you and your children.
For the orientation day, children will be divided into two groups based on alphabetical order.
Group A: Students whose LAST NAME begins with A-Ma will attend the 9:00 am session.
Date: Friday, May 23, 2025- Time 9:00 am- 10:00 am
Group B: Students whose LAST NAME begins with Mu-W will attend the 10:30 am session.
Date: Friday, May 23, 2025 – Time 10:30 am- 11:30 am
Please confirm your attendance by replying to this email (krwilson@sd62.bc.ca)
The teacher that your child meets at orientation WILL NOT necessarily be their kindergarten
teacher in September, as class configuration will not be finalized until the end of September.
We look forward to meeting you and your child.
Sincerely,
The Kindergarten Team at Savory Elementary
