The Grade 1-6 students will be continuing their parading over to Copernicus lodge to greet the residence at 1:15PM.
Pokemon cards and toys are becoming a problem again in school both at lunch and at recess time. Please remind your child that toys and cards of any sort are not allowed in school and should be kept at home. If you have concerns or questions regarding this rule please come and see me in the office.
At the beginning of each school year, our students and staff prepare for the year ahead by establishing the foundations for a successful year. One of the ways we know we can help students be successful is to create a safe environment in which to learn. Though no one ever wants to see an emergency happen at a school, it's important for school staff to be equipped to deal with those situations, should these occur.
One aspect of emergency preparedness is the lockdown and fire drill. All schools are required to conduct a minimum of two lockdown drills and six fire drills each school year. Lockdown drills, like fire drills, are an essential component to ensuring student and staff safety. It is important that all staff and students are prepared and know how to respond in cases of emergencies. The drills last approximately 5 minutes and ensure plans are effective and can also systematically identify any safety concerns. If you have any questions re our safety protocols or concerns don’t hesitate to ask.
