Summer is rapidly coming to a close.  This may cause some to feel dismay and others to feel utter joy. Either way it is a new school year and a time for new beginnings which is exciting.  We hope you had a wonderful summer and managed to get some relaxing and/or fun holidays in over the 2 months.  Here are some important details for the first week back:

Day 1: Tuesday, September 7th.  This is a partial school day to help us get an accurate enrolment number.  This helps the district get accurate numbers and ultimately helps us create classes sooner.  If you are not able to send your child(ren) to school on this first day please let the school know so we can include them in our numbers.

Please note that our school times have changed and we will be starting earlier.  The first day will run from 8:05am to 10:00am.  Students do not need to bring their school supplies on this day and they won't need a lunch.

Returning students will report to their last year's classroom.

New students will meet in the gym this first morning and then be assigned to a classroom until final class lists are set.

Office staff are in the school all this week 8am to 2pm.

Days 2-4: Starting Wednesday, September 8th there are full school days.  This is the new bell schedule:

7:52 - 8:07  Supervision on the Playground

8:00  Bus Arrival
8:05  Warning Bell
8:07  Classes begin
10:00 – 10:15  Recess
11:45  Lunch
12:25  Warning Bell
12:30  Afternoon Session Begins
2:00  Dismissal

2:10  Bus Departure

On the second day students will meet outside the classroom that they were in on the first day.  After that the students will be clearly told where to meet (old classroom, designated area, or new classroom depending on where we are in the process of placing students).

School supplies are not needed for the first day.  After that students should make sure they have their pencil box supplies (crayons, pencils etc) until they know they will be placed in their new classroom.  Once in their new class they can bring in all their supplies. Supply lists are at Staples and Walmart but here are the lists for those that are still shopping around:

Grade 1

Grade 2

Grade 3

Grade 4
