June 26th - Last Day Of School

How can it already be May? We are having so much fun learning this year. We have a big push over the next two months to reach our math goals; improve our reading, speaking, and writing in both French and English; and continue to explore the 7 Grandfather Teachings and what virtues it takes to be a good person.

Our teachers are committed to getting to the “finish line” with their students and at the last PLC Day, they wrote their commitment out as a “Super Mario” themed pledge to every student in the school.

We are having our annual Walk-a-Thon fundraiser in May – please consider supporting it as all funds raised go to improvements that directly affect our students. Some of the things we are going to use the money for are finishing the outdoor classroom area with turf (eliminates muddy areas and the students LOVE the turf and new, locking scooter racks.) On any given day, we have over 50 students scootering to school, we love that our students are staying active and healthy!

We have had tremendous success in the past years and are counting on our wonderful school community again! Our walk-a-thon will take place on Friday, June 7th at 2:00 p.m. and we invite you to join us that day – I will even guarantee a freezie for you compliments of the SCC!

Proceeds from the walk-a-thon go towards outdoor school improvements.

Pledge Sheets will be handed out for May 15th and due back June 5th.

Our staff parking lots are a “no drop off zone” as they are out of bounds for students.

We urge parents to support us in this safety endeavor by dropping off your children on the west side of the school on Olive Diefenbaker Drive; on Bradbury Drive, east of the Special Needs bus zone and between Gisi Road and Olive Diefenbaker Drive.

We encourage the children to cross all streets in a safe manner by crossing at the corner or at cross walks. Teacher supervision is also provided at our major crosswalks.

The Community Club rink parking lot is the bus pick up zone after school for our parents to meet their children for pick up. Please refrain from turning around in the driveways, as this is disruptive to the homeowners.

Our Lunchbox by SchoolCash Online ordering calendar is open. Log in with your SchoolCash Online account to place your order. Ordering closes the Sunday before the following week. If you have any questions, please contact the team at info@lunchboxorders.com.

For the most part, we want our students to enjoy playing outdoors before school, during both recesses, and the noon hour. On rainy days, we allow students to come into the school upon their arrival and remain indoors during all breaks. In the winter, we use -30 degrees Celsius as our cut off to remain indoors. If the temperature and/or wind-chill in combination with the temperature exceed -30, then all students are permitted in the school in the morning and during break times. We do expect that all students be dressed appropriately for the weather, as there are many cold days that students are expected to be outdoors.
