20th 2015 from 6:00-7:30pm at the school.For the first portion of the evening (approximately 20 minutes) we will have a guest speaker who will present to parents about technology topics such as social media and using technology at home and school.

The second portion of the evening will be an interactive experience where students and their families rotate through stations which will let families experience different ways we use technology at school.
Santa in January?
Each year, Parent Council asks teachers to submit a "wish list" of items they would like to have at school. Over the years, Council has purchased many things for the school including drums, snow shoes, and pinnies for field trips. This year teachers wished for games and other items for children to play with at indoor recess. Teachers worked with their classes to make a list of things they would enjoy and Council approved the wish!
Today, Santa and his helpers came to deliver the items. The students were surprised to see Santa in January, but excited none the less!
Thank you, Parent Council for our new play time things!

Cold Weather Reminders
A healthy mind and healthy body go hand-in-hand. Outdoor recess is a time to connect with friends, and recharge through exercise. In this light, all students are expected to go outside for recess.
Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather everyday as conditions often change throughout the day. Many families also choose to send extra socks and/or mittens in their child's backpack for extra comfort when outdoor gear ends up wet.
We do not have indoor supervision for students during recess. Indoor recess is only permitted in exceptional circumstances. Generally speaking, a child who is too sick to go outside at recess is too sick to benefit from attending school.
During severe weather conditions, as outlined by division policy, all students will be supervised indoors. When the wind chill hazard is at or colder than -29 degrees students will not be permitted outdoors. When the wind chill hazard is between -25 degrees and -28 degrees students may go outdoors for a shorter outdoor recess, up to 10 minutes. We call this shorter recess a "fresh air break". Weather conditions are determined using the report from Environment Canada at The Forks.
These same temperature guidelines apply to our school safety patrols being on duty. When the wind chill hazard is at or colder than -29 degrees the patrols will not be outside.
