Principal’s Message
Wet Weather = Extra Clothes
With the warmer winter weather has come some very wet conditions out on our school grounds. To support us in helping your children stay warm and dry at school, we are asking that parents pack an extra pair of clothing in their backpacks. This allows students to change if necessary and supports us in not having to make phone calls home to parents for fresh clothes.
Parking & Staff Parking Lot
Recently, there has been an increased number of families using the parking lot to drop off and pick up their children. We kindly ask that parents do not do drop-off or pick-up in the staff parking lot. It can be unsafe as our staff is arriving or leaving the school and so cars are actively moving.
Parking is available past the school parking lot on Cranford Drive SE and along Cranford Square SE. Please be mindful of our neighbours and do not block driveways in the area. There is also a loading zone to the east of the bus zone on Cranford Drive SE for brief stops.
When dropping off your child at school in the morning, they are welcome to come into the building anytime between 7:50 and 8:00 AM. This is designed to reduce congestion near our doors.
Jump Rope for Heart
During the first few weeks of February students will be taking part in Jump Rope for Heart in Physical Education. Students will learn skipping skills as part of the PE program and have the opportunity raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Please see the attached flyer with how your family can sign up to support this fundraising effort.
