Good morning,

As promised in the message sent by Superintendent Karim Hachlaf to families on Friday, we’re pleased to advise that phone service has been restored at all schools.

Please consider only calling the school for emergency or other critical reasons, as a large volume of calls could impact phone line availability. Phone numbers can be found at the bottom of your school’s website.

We thank you for your cooperation in reserving the phone lines for these important uses.

We remain committed to keeping families updated throughout this process and thank you for your patience as we work to restore all services safely and securely.

With best regards,

The Burnaby School District

Note that the Cariboo office staff are able to access email.
