Key Updates:

Halloween Activities

Students will be participating in a variety of classroom and school activities in addition to regular learning on October 31^st.

Students are welcome to wear costumes to school for the day. Please ensure that they are school appropriate.

Costume accessories are not allowed at school (swords, guns, wands…), these are often lost or broken and lead to upset students. Masks are not to be worn during the day, but will be allowed during the costume parade.

We will be having a costume parade in the afternoon (2:00pm). We are hoping for an outside parade around the school and parents are welcome to attend. If we need to move inside due to weather, unfortunately we do not have space for parents.

Morning Kindergarten will be invited to wear costumes and share these with other classes before the leave.

Our School Council / Parents Association has purchased a mini pumpkin for each student. Students will be decorating these during the day. They will be brought home with students alongside information on a School Council Pumpkin Contest.

We wish all families a safe and fun Halloween Day!

Outdoor Clothing and Shoes

Winter Weather is here! Please ensure that your child has the following each day at school:

Indoor Shoes – To keep learning spaces clean, all students need to change their shoes after entering the school.
Warm Outerwear – Please ensure that your child arrives at school with warm clothing to go outside.

This includes but is not limited to: Hats mittens/gloves, scarves, a winter coat, snow pants and boots.

Inclement Weather

Students will be going outside for recess and lunch in most conditions (this includes light rain). CBE Guidelines recommend that students remain inside only when the temperature reaches -20 Celsius or colder. A rain coat and appropriate outdoor footwear should be worn in rainy conditions. We are unable to provide separate indoor supervision for students not dressed for the weather or who are ill. If students are too sick to bundle up and go outside then they should not be at school. Please see our webpage for more information: Cold Weather Days

Christmas Hampers

It's soon that time of year where families may find that they are in need of extra support through the holidays. We do not know your situations but if you are in need of some extra support this year, we can help you. Please let the school office know, as we are in contact with organisations that work to provide hampers containing food and Christmas gifts to help families in our area for the holiday season

Absence / Lates

If your child is going to be absent or late please call the office before school begins at 403-777-6790 to let us know. This will help us ensure all students are safe and that their attendance record will be accurate. Once you have reached the office:

1. Press 1, and leave your message on the Attendance Line

2. Please let us know your child’s first and last name, teacher; and the reason for the absence.
