- Please ensure that your child's name is on everything they bring to school- shoes, backpacks, coats, lunch bags, mittens etc.
- Inside shoes will be left on the cubby shelf above your child's coat hook at the end of the day. A full change of clothes to leave there in case of need is a good idea.
- When picking up your child outside of regular hours, please use the main door by the office as all other doors are locked during school hours for the children's safety. You must also sign out your child with the office.
- Your child will come for a full day (8:25-2:41) either next Monday or Tuesday. If you aren't sure which day they should come, check with one of us or the office. Don't forget to send a snack and a lunch.
- ALL the children will start full days, every day, on Wednesday, Sept. 15.
- Sharing will begin later this month. Our first theme is All About Me. Return the sheet given to you at your interview when it is done. If it has been misplaced, let us know so we can get you another one.
- We will begin our library time Tuesday, September 28 with Ms. Kipp. The children will each bring home one book >VERY exciting!<.
- We will participate in the Terry Fox Run at BEST on Friday, Sept. 24. If you would like, send a Toonie for Terry in the Take Home zipper bag closer to the date.
- Thursday Sept. 23 is our first fire drill practice as a school. We will practice multiple times as a class before that day.
- Monday, Sept. 27 is an NI day which means there is no school for students.
- Thursday, Sept. 30 is our first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. There will be no school.
- School supply fees are due into the office if you haven't already sent them. Check with Ms. Ladouceur for cost for each grade.
- Please send a water bottle with your child's name on it in their packs. They will be returned home each day for washing. Our fountains are off limits for drinking.
- 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.
- A reminder 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.
We hope all the Team Awesome members went home today with lots of stories to tell of the things we did and the new friends they made. We learned TONS of classroom and school routines today like how and when to tidy up, what whole body listening looks like, how to line up quietly and wash our hands. We will continue to practice our new skills and learn more school expectations for at least the next few weeks. But it wasn't all drudgery! We had some snacks, participated in some movement songs on the smart board, played outside and chose some toys to play with at the end of our class time. Who knew we could do so much in 2.5 hours?
