With cold and flu season upon us, we encourage our students and staff to take the following everyday preventative actions to prevent the spread of illness:

Stay home when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.

Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill.

Please check out this month's health newsletter below for more information

Huge thank you and shout out to all of our Holiday shop volunteers! Also, thanks to the parents, teachers and students for your support in this successful event.

Reminder that we do have outdoor recess if it is 20 degrees or above so please send students to school with warm outerwear, coat, hats, gloves, scarves, etc.

If your child needs a particular piece of winter wear to stay warm in the cold weather, please be sure to connect with the counselor at your child’s school – they will be happy to try and locate the right piece of winter wear in just the right size.
