Campus View 2026 -2027

The first day of school for Grade 1-5 students is Tuesday, September 8th. Students will be in attendance from 9:00 am to 11:30 am when they will be dismissed. Students are reminded to bring a snack with them for the morning.

Class lists and line up locations will also be posted at various locations outside the school in the morning.

Please note that all class assignments are temporary during the first week of school as we confirm enrolment numbers and school configuration. While we don’t anticipate having to make any changes, it always takes a couple of days to confirm enrolment numbers and get District approval before we can call these classes permanent for the year.

Kindergarten students and families are to follow the gradual entry schedule that was previously sent home.

If you have any questions please contact the Office.

If your child will be arriving late or will be absent from school, please contact the school any time BEFORE or by 8:45am on the day of absence either by calling and leaving a message 250-477-0178 (Press 1 for Absence line) or email – campusview@sd61.bc.ca. Please include child’s name, teacher’s name, Division, and reason for absence. This will avoid an automatic email being sent, asking you to call in to the office as attendance will be noted as absent – unexcused. If you contact the teacher directly, it is important to please contact the office as well. If you contact the office only, we will inform the teacher of your child’s absence.

Please review the following school reminders:

Dress for the Outdoor 

Reminder to send children to school prepared for West Coast weather as we will be outside rain, or shine. Please ensure children have weather appropriate clothing and protection.  Examples during warm weather days may include: hat, sunscreen, light weight long sleeve shirt., etc.  For cold weather days, raincoats, hats, gloves, rain boots (can be left at school).  A spill-proof water bottle is always recommended.  Leaving a change of clothing in a small labelled bag at school is helpful if one gets too wet, slips in the mud, has an accident/spill/tear and needs/wants to quickly change to be comfortable.

Parking / Turning Left / Making U-Turns on Gordon Head Road

1. Please respect our parking guidelines – while it may look like there are empty spots in our lot, staff are coming and going at all times including the time when many of you are dropping off in the morning and picking up at the end of the day. About 50 staff work here on different days, sometimes overlapping during the day. Please under no circumstances, unless with prior permission for a specific short term situation, please do not park in our staff parking lot, not even for a few minutes.  Children are often walking or riding their bikes on school property and staff are coming and going at all times.

2. Families that are biking on Gordon Head Road to Campus View from the South must enter through the driveway as there is no other spot to do so. Extra drivers coming and going makes this all the more dangerous. Due to the many concerns and potential hazards entering and leaving the driveway and parking lot, while we ask children and families to walk on sidewalks, use crosswalks and NOT to walk through the lot, there are always many children and families not abiding by these requests.

3. When you are leaving the driveway, please respect the sign erected on the fence.  It tells you not to turn left during pick up and drop off times; it is very specific.  Ignoring the sign and turning left, creates extra hazards and congestion. Even if it appears clear to do so, conditions can change quickly causing hazards and congestion for families and students, not to mention frustration for drivers simply trying to commute along Gordon Head road.  Please ensure you do not block the entrance while waiting to turn to the right out the parking lot.  When waiting to turn right, please stay to the far right so staff vehicles can easily enter the parking lot.

4. Last, please refrain from making U-turns on Gordon Head road in front of the school – this too creates congestion, frustration, and as a result, extra danger. As a parent, if you are aware of drivers who are not following laws or are driving erratically once on Gordon Head Road, please take down the license plate number and call or report online to the Saanich Police directly.

Once again, 

If your child will be arriving late or will be absent from school please contact the school either via phone – 250.477.0178 (Press 1 for Absence line) or email – campusview@sd61.bc.ca any time, or BEFORE 8:30am on the day of absence/late.
