Whooo wants milk?
Milk order forms went home with your child this week. Please remember to return the form by December 10th! The milk program will start in January.
Winter Reminders
Please do not idle your vehicle when picking up or dropping off your child. The exhaust fumes are very unhealthy for everyone.
If you know your child is going to be away, please ensure you contact the teacher with enough notice if you would like some homework for your child.
With the cold weather set in, please remember to send your child to school with warm clothes. Toques, mittens, warm jackets, winter boots and snow pants are all needed to keep the kids nice and toasty. It is a good idea to send an extra set of mittens for your child to keep in their backpack in case the first pair gets wet. Please label all clothing to help the kids keep track of their items. Most importantly, lets make sure the kids zip up their jackets!
