Catch Grade 11 student, Eden Gilmore, in the highly anticipated new series “Family Law” premiering this Friday, September 17th at 9:00pm on Global TV.

Family Law is a 10-episode, one-hour legal drama that follows a group of flawed family
members who reluctantly work together at their father’s law firm in downtown Vancouver.

“Set in Vancouver, Canada, Family Law follows lawyer and recovering alcoholic Abigail ‘Abby’ Bianchi (Jewel Staite) struggling to put her career and family back together after hitting rock bottom. As a condition of her probation, Abby is forced to work at her estranged father’s (Victor Garber) firm, Svensson and Associates, and practice in family law for the first time while forging new relationships with the half-brother (Zach Smadu) and half-sister (Genelle Williams) whom she’s never met. The result is a dysfunctional family law firm operating to help other families with their own dysfunctions.”

Eden plays Sofia Bianchi, Abby’s daughter in the series.

As we return school, the health and safety of our students, staff and community remain a top priority. This is a reminder that it is the responsibility of parents and guardians to ensure a Daily Health Check is completed every day, for each student, prior to them attending school. Stay home when feeling sick and practice diligent hand hygiene.

You can find the student form here: Daily Health Check for students (Updated Sept 2021)

…or you can use the Province’s online assessment tool:

https://www.k12dailycheck.gov.bc.ca/healthcheck?execution=e6s1

…or you can use the Self-Assessment Tool at: https://bc.thrihealth/covid19/en

All staff and other adults entering a building are also required to do a Daily Health Check before entering a school or other site.

Reminders for when students arrive at school:

• Upon arrival at school, sanitize or wash their hands.
• Wear a mask at all times. (Exception: while eating or drinking)
• Avoid crowding and spread out wherever possible.
• No sitting or gathering in the hallways.
• Food and drinks should not be shared.
