Happy May Goose Bay Families!
I am looking forward to many more days of sunshine and warmth as we wrap up the school year! With spring weather comes breakup mud and a wet playground!! It is very helpful to send your children with extra clothes in their backpack in case of any slips in the mud on the playground or on the mileage track!
I will be out of the building from April 30th-May 16th. I have a wonderful sub nurse Kristan Boyce filling in for me, if you have any needs during that time please don’t hesitate to contact the office or Nurse Boyce. I will be intermittently checking my email as well but any urgent needs should be directed to the Goose Bay office.
Please take a moment to stop by the lost and found before the last day of school, it is located just past the office on the right. There are two sections on both sides of the door to the nurse’s office and a table by the gym door. Anything left will be donated.
If your child has a medication being stored by the nurse please remember to come in before the last day of school and check it out. All medications must be checked out for summer break even if your student will be returning in the fall. Any medications left will be disposed of properly.
If you wish to pursue a religious exemption for the 2025-2026 school year, they are due by the first day of school and to be signed/dated AFTER July 1, 2025.
Lastly, if your student has a medical care plan, those must be updated by your provider and sent to the school nurse before the first day of school in the fall as well.
