Good afternoon caregivers of Arnold H. McLeod School, 

                   Below are the school updates for the week of May 12th: 

Please note that there is no school on Friday May 16th due to staff professional learning and again on Monday May 19th due to the Victoria Day holiday. 

Jump Rope for Heart 

AHM will be participating in our annual Jump Rope for Heart fundraising event. Envelopes will be sent home this week. The school benefits by receiving 10% of all money raised. We appreciate your support for this worthwhile fundraiser. 

Pre-K Visit 

Thursday, May 22nd is our Kindergarten Orientation Day for those students who will begin their school journey with us in September. Current Kindergarten students will stay home that day. An invitation is being sent via mail to all our registered pre-K students. 

Alternate Conveyance for 2025-2026 

Should you wish your child to take a bus to a location that is not your home for the 2025-2026 school year for the purpose of after school care or if you are in a shared custody situation with bussing to two locations, you will need to fill in an Alternate Conveyance form. Please contact your child’s teacher for a form. The forms are filled in now to allow transportation to process the forms over the summer and avoid up to a three-week wait in September for bussing to be arranged. The school cannot speed up this process in the Fall. 

Provincial Assessments Gr 4 & 5 

Provincial Assessments have begun for students in Grade 4 and 5. This coming week, Grade 4 students will write the grade 4 science assessment on May 13-15.  The assessments will take place at different intervals during the day, depending on the class schedule. It is important that your child is well rested, arrives at school on time and has a nutritional breakfast.
