Happy Monday!
Even though it is a 5 day week, we have lots going on!
Tuesday-Library; please return all library books
Wednesday-Popcorn (please send $0.50 for each bag of popcorn for your child to receive at snack recess)
Friday-Class party at 10:30am; Spelling Test; Hot Lunch; Walk to Salem Manor at 1:30pm
Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed up and ready to go on Friday. They can wear their costume all day, but teachers will not be on hand to put on make-up and costume pieces. Please refrain from sending costume pieces that may be inappropriate (ex. guns, knives, etc).
As the weather is becoming colder, please make sure that your child is wearing the appropriate clothing for outside recess. Each child should have: gloves/mittens (with insulation), hat/toque that covers ears, scarf, snow pants, and a winter jacket. Feel free to send an extra pair of socks to school for your child to wear if their socks get wet.
We are entering/have entered cold and flu season. As school policy will be followed, there will be no sharing of kleenex and hand sanitizer. Please send a small amount of each with your child to keep at their desk. They can keep the sanitizer and kleenex inside their desk and use it at their discretion. This supply will not be shared with other students.
