Dear parents and caregivers,

This message is for the week of Sept. 28 – Oct. 2.

We will be observing Orange Shirt Day on Tuesday, September 29th. Please have students wear orange that day. There will be no school on Wednesday, September 30th as we recognize Truth and Reconciliation Day. 

We will be conducting our Emergency Evacuation Walk drill on Thursday, Oct. 1st. Please note that in a real emergency the school evacuation site is the Crossman Community Center. The location for parents to receive information and wait for their children would be the Champlain Mall parking lot – zone 5.

Kindergarten pre-registration opens in October for the 2027-2028 school year. Ideally, we would like all future kindergarten students to be registered as soon as possible. Parents will need to register online on the District website and then you will be contacted by the school for upcoming Pre-K events later in the year. More details will be sent about this process in October.

A reminder that morning recess is from 8:00 – 8:25am in the morning. Students are only permitted to be dropped in the Kiss n’ Drop area starting at 8:00am as this is when supervision begins. Also, following the 8:25am bell, parents dropping off their children must use the front doors and sign their child in at the office at which time students will be directed to their homeroom by our educational staff. We also wanted to give a reminder to please drive slowly around the school as we have many vehicles and families moving around a small space. 

Please keep in mind that we are a scent free building. Students and visiting parents/caregivers are asked to refrain from wearing any scented products. 

That’s all for this week.
