Fall has arrived!

September is almost over and the weather is definitely changing.
Grade Two - Homework is due on or before Friday. We have no spelling words yet to study, but all the boys and girls need to be reading every night. Please print neatly in all your work.
K-2- Everyone did a great job walking around the school last Friday for the Terry Fox Run. Thank you so much for your donations to this very worthwhile cause.
- Friday we have an assembly at 1:20 in the cafeteria.It is a new time this year, feel free to stop by.
- Once again we have Jackie Kinghorne visiting the K-2 classes and instructing them on handwashing. This is always so important, but especially this year with flu season fast approaching and the H1N1 flu.
- There is no school October 8th and 9th. That will make an extra long weekend for the students with Thanksgiving that weekend. Teachers have curriculum days.
Please continue to check your child's head for lice. On that note, have a great week. M. Cronk

Back in the groove.

Welcome back everyone and a warm welcome to those joining us for the first time. We are settling into our routines quite well and aren't so sleepy this week. Thank you parents for being so patient with the reams and reams of paper to read through. I know it is overwhelming to get so much information and then all the bookclub and magazine subscriptions too. A little reminder to please send in agenda money and your child's personal information sheet. Also we are asking for a loonie for the Terry Fox Run (walk) which we will all be participating in on Sept. 25th. K-2 just walk around the school a couple of times.
Grade Two homework went home for the first time this week. Please see that your child returns it on or before Friday, thanks to those who already have.Your child should be bringing home a book every night to read to you. I am so happy to see that they are printing their own titles and dates. There will be no spelling as such, for the next while.
The cafeteria should be up and running on Monday, Sept. 21st.
Enjoy the fallish weather. M. Cronk
