Principal's Weekly Update #9

Hello Wales Families,

This was an exciting and busy week at Wales. We learned about healthy lifestyles by celebrating Red Ribbon Week, and we had fun in our classroom parties and the parade. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who came to help or cheer us on!

We have completed our fire drills for the fall and have two lockdown drills to practice. Our first lock-down drill is scheduled for Monday, November 4th at 10AM. During our drill we have a sign in front of the building stating that we are conducting a drill. I ask that you please wait in your car until we have finished.

Picture retakes are on Thursday, November 6th beginning at 9AM and going until all retakes have been completed.

This weekend marks the end of daylight savings time. Remember to turn your clocks back on Sunday, November 3rd at 2AM.

The Red Hawks’ Nest Project aims to build a new pavilion and enhance the Intermediate School recess area on our main campus.

Play spaces at the Primary Schools have been possible due to our generous community. Securing an adequate outdoor play space for the Intermediate School 4th and 5th grade students will require that same community support.

This is a reminder that when your child is absent or tardy, legally we must have a note with a reason, upon the child's return to school. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
