Photos

30/9/2020

 
We will be inviting you via email to share an album of all the photos we have taken of the children on Google Photos every month. Keeping them sorted by month makes it easier when searching for a specific picture. Once we have downloaded them you will be able to peruse them at your leisure and download, save and/or print all of your favourites to your own computer without altering the album in any way. We will continue to add pictures of special events as well as make videos, which will also be shared with you in Google. Don't forget to share your favourites with family!

In previous years we have always had adults come into our rooms at the end of the day to gather their child and belongings. It allowed us to touch bases with parents, learn a bit about the family lives of our children, make sure each child was leaving with the proper adult and say good-bye to everyone in a relaxed manner.​ It was a lovely way to end the day. Our new end-of-day procedure is much less relaxed right now. The students are becoming more independent each day and so having them get ready on their own will get easier but we are missing the casual interactions with their families and getting to know them better. We are also finding that not knowing for certain the children are leaving with the adult they are supposed to be with slightly anxiety-inducing. In the mad mass rush out the door we are having to trust that they are going home with the proper adult. So you have to promise us- no matter how adorable they are (and they are pretty cute!)- you won't spontaneously decide to pick up a few extra dozen children at the end of the day.
  • We participated in the Terry Fox Run today. Thank you so much for your donations to a good cause. 
  • Team Awesome did a great job for their first fire drill. One down, five more to go!
  • Please return items to school in your child's zipper bag. We do not look in backpacks for items so it might get missed if it is not in a zipper bag.
  • We will begin our library time next Tuesday with Ms. Kipp. Please return books in the library bag by the following Tuesday at the latest so your child can choose a new one.
  • As of Monday, Sept. 28 the road (Windsor) between the BEST school field and the new Tim Horton's being built will be closed for a month or so. Please plan parking and pick ups/ drop offs accordingly.
  • ​Monday, Sept. 28, is an NI day which means there is no school for students.
  • Tuesday, Sept. 29 the school meals program will begin.
  • Wednesday, Sept. 30 is Orange Shirt Day. Wearing an orange shirt and promoting the slogan, Every Child Matters, is an affirmation of our commitment to raise awareness of the residential school experience
  • The PAC $10 coupon book order form and envelope and should be returned to school by Sept. 30. Don't forget the Unfundraiser forms which recently went home. Thank you for supporting our PAC.
  • Please sign and return all of the forms in the brown envelope as well as school supply fees if you have not yet done so.
  • Although we are not in cold/flu season yet, it is coming. If your child is exhibiting symptoms of any kind, they must be kept home.
  • We have not yet, but eventually we will ask you to send a pair of headphones for your child to use with the iPads. Please put them in a labelled ziplock bag to help keep them organized. Earbuds are often not the best choice.
Go forth and Be Awesome!​

Home As A Haven

In a world that seems to have gone slightly crazy, this seems even more important. And not just for the children but for ourselves as well.

Fire Drill Practice

23/9/2020

 
This week we will be talking about fire drill procedures and practicing what to do as the first of six fire drills will happen at the end of the week. The bells can be loud and might frighten the children but after the first two they are usually much calmer and things go smoother. Obviously, the first priority is to get the children safely out of the building but if they are screaming or upset it is hard for them to listen for directions. Supervising the front of the line, the middle of the line and the back of the line of excited/scared/crying children with only two of us (and sometimes one!), and still managing to get to our spot on the field without losing anyone can be quite a feat. So. We practice....and discuss .... and practice some more. Wish us luck.

Terry Fox Run

21/9/2020

 
Picture
In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Terry's Marathon of Hope, our school is participating in the Terry Fox Activities. We are proudly committed to raising much-needed funds for cancer research. Please consider supporting our efforts for this very worthwhile cause.
Bert Edwards Science and Technology School will once again be celebrating Terry Fox, a Canadian hero. We will be doing things a little bit differently this year. Terry Fox activities will be on Friday, September 25 in the afternoon. Our Terry Fox activities will commence in classrooms at 1:00. Weather permitting, we are then hoping to continue activities outside starting at about 1:40. Outside, students will participate in a variety of fitness activities that will be done in 40 second intervals. These activities will be done in a ‘distanced’ manner. It will be great to see the whole school outside. Consider sending your child in a Terry Fox t-shirt, if they have one, or their BEST swag.
There are two ways to donate. We will be collecting Toonies for Terry so students can bring in a toonie or donation that will be collected beginning Monday, September 21. You may also donate on-line. http://www.terryfox.ca/BertEdwardsElementary
