Dear Parents/Guardians,

re: Noel Booth Elementary School Closure Tuesday

As you are aware, the District closed Noel Booth Elementary today (Monday) due to vandalism inside the school on the weekend that required clean-up. It is believed that an unauthorized individual(s) entered the school and deployed fire extinguishers in multiple areas of the building. The incident has resulted in an unsafe learning environment. Langley RCMP are investigating the matter. A restoration crew spent the day working with District Maintenance staff to return spaces to their original state but more time is needed.

Due to health and safety, the school will remain closed on Tuesday, November 10, 2026 (tomorrow). 

The District acknowledges this school closure will be difficult on students and families. Health and safety continue to be a priority. Our staff in collaboration with the contractor will work diligently and quickly as possible to mitigate further impact on the school community.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. You can expect an update on this situation tomorrow. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Melissa Wilsdon

Principal

Noel Booth Elementary
