Important Information
Spring Concert
Information about the Spring Concert is out and we have had lots of response. Please return the form by April 4. After this date, we will open up tickets to more than 4 should your family choose to get more. As a reminder, the concert is on April 28 at 6:30pm at First Alliance Church. The entire school is involved in this event and we look forward to seeing the students on a big stage. The technology in the building will also ensure that children are able to be seen, regardless of where you are seated in the auditorium.
Thank You for Your Participation
Thank you for taking the time to meet with your child’s teacher during conferences. We hope that you were able to gain good insight into your children’s progress and find their celebrations since the report card season.
Scholastic Book Fair
The Scholastic Book Fair was a great success!! We will update you on the total amounts earned in an email after the break. Please note, you will have to have your commercial content accessible to receive this email.
Student Safety
Springtime brings out the bicycles, rollerblades and scooters. In addition, more students start to walk as well. We are asking all of our families to drive to school, to keep your eyes open for these young children.
Students are reminded to walk their bikes, etc. when on the school sidewalks and playgrounds. This will protect all pedestrians and yourselves.
Also, if staying at the playground after school, you are reminded that the area beside the playground is for drop off and pick up only. This is a 2-5 minutes stop zone. If you are choosing to stay to play for a bit, please park across the street or down further so as to keep this area flowing for all traffic.
Welcome Back to Joel and Meteor
We are pleased to let you all know that our caretaking staff have returned to work. We know it has been hard on some families by not being able to access your child’s teacher after school as easily and that students have been bringing more of their lunch waste home recently. It will be all of our responsibility to do our part to get our school back to the pristine condition it usually is. Thank you for your support throughout this process.
From the Office
Hello Hoomans…
Just a reminder that Canine Critters, like me, are not allowed on school property. I know this is ‘arf-ful’ but it is true. Please keep me away from kids I don’t know and away from the school so that everyone is comfortable and safe.
Thank you for keeping me and everyone around me safe!! You’re Grrrrrrrrrrr-eat!
Volunteering at Chaparral School
If you have completed your Police Check and our annual volunteer registration you are eligible to volunteer at our school. Please email the school at chaparral@cbe.ab.ca is you would like to come in on a regular basis. We are always looking for support to complete odd tasks throughout the school.
From our School Council
Our next School Council meeting is Thursday, April 10 at 6:30pm.
We will be back in person as the CUPE labour action is now over. Kindergarten and Phys Ed will be presenting.
Fun Lunch/Fun Snacks & Spirit Days
Our next Fun Lunch day is April 10. It is Boston Pizza.
Our next Spirit Day is Thursday, April 10. It is Career Day! Students are invited to dress up in a chosen uniform or attire to represent a favorite career. I wonder how many doctors or nurses or golfers or NHL players are in our midst?? Or any other wonderful possibilities. It will be fun to see how careers can be represented!!
Weekly Mantra
Everything You Dream of is Waiting.
(SEL Competency – Self-Management & IELLF – Spirit Domain)
Every time you imagine being a superhero, an artist, or anything else, you’re planting seeds of dreams. Those seeds are growing, just waiting for you to water them with your hard work and excitement!
So, believe in yourself and take little steps toward your dreams. They’re out there, ready to be discovered, just for you. Get ready to chase after them—they can’t wait to meet you!
