Chartwells (our cafeteria provider) is hiring! If you would like to join our cafeteria team please check out this link!
Our Parent/Teacher Cooperative (PTC) is hosting our annual Halloween Howl this Thursday, October 24th from 6-7pm. This is a Halloween themed dance for students and family members. Everyone is welcome to come dressed up (we just ask that costumes are family friendly please). All students must come accompanied by an adult.
We are not serving food at this event, so we encourage you to have supper before you come.
Grade 4 families: You should receive an email tomorrow with your child’s Provincial Assessment results from last year’s Grade 3 Math and Literacy assessments. There are two different reports. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s classroom teacher or to Mrs. Wolfe.
October is International Walk to School Month (and Walk at School Month). Today we went for a beautiful walk outside together around our school.
On November 6th we will be hosting a Family Flu Shot Clinic in our cafeteria from 2 to 6pm. We will send more information soon on how to sign up.
Thanks everyone. Have a great week. A reminder that our October calendar can be found on our new webpage. If you are on the new webpage and can’t find a link that you feel should be there, please email Mrs Wolfe.
Thanks,
Mrs. Wolfe and Mrs. van der Weegen
