Volunteers
If you are interested in helping out in the classroom, please let me know. Your help is greatly appreciated. Volunteers must get a criminal record check and a child abuse registry check completed. Please see Vicki in the office to get this process started. The school division will cover the cost of these checks.

Scholastic Book Club Orders
Order forms will be sent home once a month.  Please return your completed order coupon and payment (cheques only) to the school by the due date, which will be on the order form.  Cheques are to be made payable to Scholastic Canada Ltd. No cash please.

The majority of communication between home and school will be via email. Please make arrangements with me if you do not have access to email on a regular basis to receive information in paper format.

Drop off Procedures
8:45: Supervision by duty staff
8:55: Entry bell
Please line your child up along the wall north of the Kindergarten doors (Room 5 lines up on the south side of the door).  Please wait outside each morning with your child until a supervising teacher arrives or until the bell rings.

Pick Up Procedures
Dismissal: 3:42-3:45
Early Dismissal: 3:08
Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 students get dismissed from the same doors. In order to alleviate congestion, the kinders will be dismissed a minute or two before the bell. Your child will only be dismissed to a person that is on the pick up list. If someone different is picking your child up, please notify the office.

Birthday Book Club
This year you are invited to honour your child’s birthday by donating a book to our classroom instead of sending a birthday treat. Your child’s picture will be placed inside the front cover to commemorate their birthday. The birthday book club is optional and all children will get a special popcorn party to celebrate. Summer birthdays will be celebrated in June.
