END-OF-DAY CHANGES
All end-of-day dismissal changes must be communicated to the office no later than 12:00 p.m. This allows us sufficient time to inform staff and students and to ensure that dismissal runs smoothly and safely. Should changes be communicated after 12:00pm, we will dismiss students as per normal.
When emailing our office to communicate absences or end-of-day changes, please ensure to include your child’s FULL name, room number and teacher name.
Keep in mind that teachers are not able to check emails during the day while they are teaching.
We appreciate your cooperation and support in helping us keep all students safe. Thank you for your attention to these important procedures. Please contact the office should you have questions.
ICE BLOCKS!
This week we are gearing up for great weather, so I hope everyone has cleared out their freezers a bit for ice blocks! Please follow the instructions below as you prep your blocks:
Open the top of your milk carton all the way (see image below)
Spray the inside of your carton with PAM or another nut free oil
Add water and any food colouring or natural items to your block (please nothing that will hurt the environment)
Place your carton upright in the freezer for 4-5 days!
Bring your ice blocks to school the morning of Thursday February 19, please place them in the triangular green space in front of the parking lot between 7:00 – 7:30 am, 8:30 – 2:00 pm and 3:00 – up to you pm.
We cannot wait to make the best ice castle ever with you!
