Friday, September 20, 2013

I can't believe we are going into our last full week of September. It's been so busy this week and the time has flown.

I'd like to remind everyone of some safety concerns. While we strongly encourage you to walk to school, we do realize that some parents have to drive. If you are dropping your child off in the morning, please make sure you stop the car and ensure your child enters the playground safely. There is absolutely no parking in the staff parking lot, especially during drop off or pick up times. Also, please do not park in the other parking lot; it's actually a city street. There is parking available around the school.  Secondly, there are no dogs allowed on the school property.

Thank you for returning all your September Forms to the school. Shortly, the office will be sending home a "data verification" form home for you to verify the information that we have on file. Although we have tried to streamline the amount of forms being sent home, there does tend to be more at the beginning of the year. There also seems to be request for payments (i.e. agenda/T Shirt/pizza) or donations (i.e. Terry Fox, Classroom Fund). Please do not feel that you have to contribute to everything sent home; that is your choice. Parent Council and staff will continue to be cognisant of our requests and try to find even more efficient ways of collection. Thank you in advance.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
