Does your child have special needs? One of our parents and Governing Board members, Coach Ryan Sullivan, facilitates an activity night for children who have special needs called Connection Through Inclusion. He will be running the program again this year. The activity runs on Monday nights from 6:00-7:00pm and is a fun way for children and families to connect with each other. Please visit the link below or the attached QR code below if you’re interested. You will be contacted by Coach Ryan but we are hoping the first session will be October 12.

Terry Fox Walk and Friendship Snack
Thank you to everyone for participating in our Terry Fox walk this year. Whether you walked, pledged and cheered us on, we appreciate the support. As of today, the online donations are at $1,236 and we still have pledge forms coming in. Following a great walk, we celebrated our first Friendship Snack as a school community with apples, granola bars and a juice box.
School Forms
Please make sure you have signed and returned all forms. So far you should have received: Health form, Food sharing form and Community walk form.
Kindergarten Families
If your child arrives late to school, please check in at the office with Ms. Ashley and make your way to the adventure playground side of the school. The children begin play at the structure area, then make their way to the Adventure Playground. If the children are inside for any reason, Ms. Ashley will let you know and they can simply go to class from the office.
Cobalt Communication Tool
We completed our first test of the Cobalt communication tool. For urgent matters, school closure, transportation cancelation, you will receive a text message to the number associated in your child’s file. Yesterday, I tested the email function. Some of you who have a Hotmail accounts and one Outlook account did not receive the test email. The WQSB is working on a fix. Thank you for letting me know.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Julia Horner
Principal
