Are you planning a move over the summer? Please let the South Oaks office and the Hanover transportation team know of the move as soon as possible as it makes for easier planning. Transportation can be contacted at 204-320-2347 and the South Oaks office can be reached at 204-434-6165.

A reminder that school fees can be paid online on the Parent Portal, or by cash or cheque at the school office. Our school office is open between 8:00 and 4:00 pm daily. Please make every effort to ensure student fees are paid before the end of the school year, especially if your child isn't returning to South Oaks. Thank you!

The final student report cards will be posted on the Parent Portal on Friday, June 27th in the late afternoon. We encourage you to sign up for your Parent Portal account if you haven't already done so. The report cards will include your child's class placement for 2025-26.

We are so excited to be coming back to South Oaks School! We are the Hanover Parent and Child Community Program: a play based program for parents and their children (ages 0-5) to come, play, enjoy a snack, and learn through a variety of experiences with a trained Early Childhood Educator (ECE)! Keep your eyes on the student services website for a blog post about our program that we are so excited to share with you! It’ll be posted in early June. For the 2024/2025 school year we will be at South Oaks on Tuesdays from 9:00 to 11:30 am and Thursdays from 9:00 to 11:30 am. We will be using Hut #2. We look forward to seeing you next year. Wishing you and your families an incredible summer!

For your children's school supplies next year, we will once again have teachers purchase quality supplies in bulk during the summer. This helps all students to have high quality supplies at school for the whole year and promotes equity in the classroom.

So, how does this work? The school will charge a $50.00 fee for school supplies to your parent portal account at the end of August. The deadline for paying the fee is the day school begins, on September 4. This gives each family sufficient time to pay at their convenience. Parents can pay online anytime or at the office with cash or cheque during office hours.

For the start of school, parents please send a backpack, indoor/outdoor shoes, lunch kit and box of Kleenex. Grade 1-4 students also need headphones of their own. We take care of all other school supplies.

Please call our office at 204-434-6165 if you have any questions, anytime.

All 2024-25 Kindergarten students will participate in a "staggered entry" process, to provide a gradual start to the year. Our office will be in touch with further details about when your child should come to the school during these first few days.

Also, for any parents who are wondering what days of the cycle your child will attend school, the following information should be helpful;

Students in KDR: odd days of the cycle (1, 3, 5)

Students in KLW-1: odd days of the cycle (1, 3, 5)

Students in KLW-2: even days of the cycle (2, 4, 6)

To see a calendar with the days of the cycle, please visit our South Oaks website and click on the big "Calendar" button on the main page. This will make it easy for you to determine your child's schedule.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
