TILLICUM PARENTS’ FACEBOOK GROUP

All parents and guardians are encouraged to join the Tillicum Elementary School Parent Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/tillicumelementaryschoolparentgroup. This is a private group for parents and caregivers of current Tillicum students and is a great way to meet and connect with other families in our school community. Please note, there are two prerequisite questions that all members must complete before they are added to the group.

TILLICUM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SPIRIT WEAR

The Tillicum PAC has selected items with the school logo for our community to purchase. Follow this link if you would like to purchase any items. There may also be times throughout the year that the PAC organizes a pop-up shop with the opportunity to purchase as part of a group order and save on shipping. Stay tuned via email and the Facebook page for those events.

ONGOING SCHOOL FUNDRAISERS

These ongoing fundraisers help support field trips, cultural events, technology, library resources, sports day, playground equipment and so much more!

FAIRWAY MARKET GIFT CARD PROGRAM – If you buy groceries at Fairway, you can help us raise funds for Tillicum PAC by using Fairway Market gift cards. The process is simple – you get a Fairway gift card, load it at Fairway with as much or as little money as you like, then pay for your groceries with it. Five percent of all purchases will be credited to the Tillicum PAC. Please consider using a Fairway gift card for the benefit of the kids! The cards are available in the school office or contact the PAC and we’ll have a card sent home for you. Every time you load and use it, your purchase will contribute towards much needed PAC funds.

BOTTLE DEPOT FUNDRAISER – Support our school by taking your empties to any of the following Bottle Depot / Return It locations around town – 4261 Glanford Avenue, 655 Queens Avenue or 3961 Quadra Street. Advise the cashier at the BEGINNING of your transaction that you would like to donate your proceeds to the TILLICUM ELEMENTARY PAC and all refund proceeds will go directly to support our school. Please feel free to share this information with your friends and family and encourage them to do the same!

ESQUIMALT RETURN IT DEPOT ON ELLERY ST – Please mention #288 (Tillicum Elementary School) to the cashier to have your empties donated to our account.

If you find yourself at the HARTLAND EXPRESS AND GO – we have an account there too! Our customer ID is E369494. Please use passcode V4C0 and our school phone number (250-386-1408) for label making for your bags. Your empties will be counted and donated to our school account after you drop bags off in the secure drop off area.

EMILY PRESS LABELS – Emily Press is a small company out of Vancouver that creates custom labels for kids items (or really anyone trying to stay organized!). These personalized name labels are super durable, dishwasher and laundry safe. Here’s how it works: when you click on our special Tillicum fundraising link and then make a purchase at Emily Press Labels, the Tillicum PAC will receive 20% commission of the purchase total (before tax and shipping). Our fundraiser link can be used by anyone, so let’s share it far and wide! www.emilypress.com/tillicum

REGULATION 1155 COMPLAINT PROCESS

From time to time a concern may arise in our educational community. To help resolve these issues, the Greater Victoria School District uses a complaint process to ensure that an individual’s concern will be given respectful attention while upholding the integrity of the education system. This process uses clear procedures for the communication and resolution of any concern held by a member of our school community. If you would like to review the Complaint Process for a Resolution of Concerns, you will find it here. Alternatively, you can contact the Principal or Vice Principal and they would be happy to provide you with a copy. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding this matter.
