COVID SCREENING

We ask that all our families please continue to complete the Covid-19 School Screener  https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/ every morning before coming to school.  It is still extremely important that anyone feeling ill or with any symptom should not attend school.  Thank you for your time and help in completing the screener daily!

WEATHER

As we end the month of April and soon enter the month of May, please remember that with the weather changing it is always a good idea to send an extra set of clothes as our fields can get muddy at times.

UPDATES FROM YOUR ADMINISTRATION 

This year the Ministry has reinstated the EQAO assessments. These will take place in June for our students. As we approach this date, more information will be shared.

A Welcome to Kindergarten event will take place on June 6 for new students to Kindergarten. More information will be coming out in the next few weeks.

Our educators are preparing to teach the Health Unit Human Development and Sexual Health. As mandated by the Ministry, a notification will be sent out via School Day to provide families with more specific information and the option for exemption.  

We would like to thank the families who have shared their voices on our recent survey regarding the Year-End Celebration. If you have not yet had a chance, you still have time. The survey will remain open until Monday, April 18, 2022. Here is the link.

Finally, we would like to thank the many of you that we can greet out on the playground when you drop off your student or pick them up at the end of the day. It is always a pleasure for us to exchange a brief hello. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to either of us.

 

Nancy and Scott
