Thank you to everyone who came to our Internet Safety Presentation on Wednesday. Mrs. Dellandrea presented some key messages for parents to take back home and we will forward some links that will provide further tips for you. It's so important that we continue to educate ourselves to provide guidance for our children.
Staff have completed their team goals for the School Improvement Plan. As always, we will create a PowerPoint and present it at Parent Council and on our website.
I have two requests of you: Could you call me if you know someone who could play the bagpipes at our Remembrance Day Assembly. We are still looking for a veteran who may want to speak also. In addition, I'm looking for wood picture frames that would fit grade 8 art drawings (15" X 17" or larger). If you have any old frames you aren't using, we'll take them. Thanks so much!
Kiss and Ride Reminders
Kiss & Ride is still in need of more volunteers to make this valuable service run smoothly. If you can help at least once a month from 8:20-8:50, please contact Nori Ayer at norigeorge@rogers.com .
Unfortunately, at this time, we are not able to escort Kindergarten children to their classroom. And please remember that the volunteers are just that....volunteers helping your children....so please be courteous and polite and understand they are trying their best.
Also please remember that at lunch and after school there is no Kiss & Ride so please help to keep our children safe by keeping the following in mind:
- Remind your children to not wander through the parking lot looking for you
- Please do not park in the exit lanes beside the fence
- Do not park and wait for your children in the lanes and block others from exiting the parking lot.
