This Week at WMES
April 19, 2021
Dear WMES Families:

• Daily COVID Checklist
Families and staff are asked to do a daily COVID self-assessment before coming to school. This document is updated through the year by Public Health. https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/docs/Daily-COVID-checklist-en.pdf-
Thanks for your continued support and cooperation.

• Happy Ramadan to all of our Families who are taking part in Ramadan this month.  If you have a child who may be fasting please be sure to let us know so that we can make arrangements for them at lunch and snack times.

• Registration for 2021-22 School Year.  If you have any new families in your community, or friends, neighbors who may have children that will be of school age in September, please encourage them to come and register as soon as possible.  Our staffing allocations for the upcoming school year are based on current registration numbers. 
Registering now helps us be better prepared for the Fall. Thanks so much for our help.

• Our SAC group will be meeting virtually this Thursday evening to choose a school photographer for the upcoming school year.

• Please see our Webpage for information about Free Programs for the Spring and Summer from our Community Health Care team.

• Parents of students in Grades 4 and 5, please see the attached notice regarding the Provincial Well Being Survey that all students in Nova Scotia from grades 4 – 12 will be asked to complete this month.
