Important Information
Drop Off and Pick Up
Parents are reminded that the front of the school is reserved for busses both in the AM and PM times. You are asked to not stop in this zone to allow for bus access. Additionally, the parking adjacent to the playground is 2 min only. Please use this as a drop and go. If you need to leave your vehicle, please find alternate parking further down or across the street.
For safety, we remind all families to use the crosswalks and the patrols (once they start). We have already seen many people jay-walking and are concerned for the role modelling this gives our students as well as the safety of those crossing in the middle of the street.

From School Council
We held our first School Council evening last night and it was a success!! Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and came out to support our school. School Council dates will be advertised on the monthly calendars each month. Please plan to attend and help support the learning.
The website for all fun lunches is www.healthyhunger.ca. Parents are able to enter all of the orders for the entire year at any point. This will save time in the future and also alleviate the chance of missing a lunch.
Month at a Glance
We are moving to a Month at a glance calendar rather than the weekly updates. It will be provided at the beginning of the month each month and updates will be posted on our website as they occur.
Families are reminded that our website should always be your first point of information updates as it is consistent for the whole school.
Weekly Mantra
Make the Most of Every Moment
Every day we get to experience something new. Sometimes these events are happy, sometimes they are scary and sometimes they are sad. How we choose to experience it, can change the way we feel about it and can help us when that situation comes up again.
