School Start
September 28, 2020
Greetings families
We hope that this day finds you all well. As we continue to navigate teaching while there is a world-wide pandemic, we are obligated to make changes to best suit the needs of our students and our staff.
As a result of no longer being able to have a grade 8 student cover our office staff lunches, the school office will be closed from 12:00-12:30 to allow my office staff an opportunity to have an uninterrupted lunch break. Please make arrangements before or after their lunch breaks to call, drop off items, etc. We appreciate your understanding.
A reminder that we are having our first spirit day on September 30th to acknowledge Orange T-Shirt Day that honours the survivors of Indian Residential School. I will be presenting to each class about the history of IRS in an age appropriate way. Since this was very tragic, I encourage you to speak to your children about what they learned. Hug them a little tighter on Wednesday.
I would like to remind all families that we are a nut aware school, and we would appreciate that everyone makes an effort to avoid sending nut/peanut products to school. Additionally, we would appreciate if you can remind your child/children that trading of any sort of cards, toys, etc is prohibited at the school, it causes arguments. We also do not want our students sharing food. Our teachers will be reminding their students of this.
Lastly, parking is still an issue. We appreciate that many of you are masking when you come to the school, however, we would appreciate you still waiting outside the playground area for your children. It would be great if you could collect your child from the designated teacher either in the front A-L or on Fulton M-Z. The teachers in each cohort walk their assigned group to each designated area. At times, students are leaving without the teacher’s knowledge. This makes it difficult for us to manage our students. Please make contact with their assigned teacher before taking your child/children. Their safety is of utmost importance.
Thank you kindly,
Tina McDonald
Principal
