Monday Morning Question
Every Monday students have a question that is discussed as a classroom community. You may want to have the same question as a family, bringing home and school together. This week’s question is how can you stand up for someone without being unkind yourself?
Toys Reminder
Please remind your child not to bring toys to school. Students are permitted to bring items for recess such as balls, gloves, mini sticks and skipping ropes. They are not permitted to bring items such as bats, full size hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, toys or electronics.
Wet Weather
Please remember that we have a rain‑or‑shine recess policy. As the snow melts, students sometimes choose to play in puddles or muddy areas. While staff do their best to monitor where students play and instructions are given to remain out of the water, some still get wet on purpose. We do not want to call home for a change of clothes in these cases, as it takes staff resources, causes students to miss class and we believe, in these cases, it is a natural consequence to then have wet clothing. Please ensure your child has a full change of clothes at school, including older students who are often the ones purposely playing in the water or mud.
PD Days
March 27 is a PD Day. Daycare is open for those who registered.
April 17- Claw Back Date
April 17was designated as a claw back date should there be a school closure. Since the school was closed on March 11, April 17 will now be a regular school day (Day 4).
