The Rutherford Update

A NOTE FROM MRS. PRLIC (VP)

I’ve had a wonderful start at Rutherford and am grateful to be part of this amazing community. Over the past few weeks, I’ve appreciated the opportunity to connect with students, staff, and families. It was a pleasure meeting many parents at our first PAC meeting, and I look forward to engaging with more of you at our upcoming Open House. I’m grateful to be part of such a strong and caring school community, and I look forward to the year ahead. Thank you again for making me feel so welcome at Rutherford!

SPIRIT WEAR (RAMS Gear)

Soon, you will receive an order form for school sprit wear. (Yes, an old-fashioned piece of paper.) 😊 Orders typically take a few weeks to come in after the deadline. We will have sizes set out for you at open house in the main hallway.

STUDENT VERIFICATION SHEETS AND OTHER PERMISSIONS

These forms are very important. Please return your verification sheet to the classroom teacher ASAP. These forms are vital to our school’s record keeping and data collection. Also, please complete all permissions that were sent to you electronically.

TERRY FOX WALK – Sept 25 at 9:30

We need volunteer safety marshals! Guest walkers are more than welcome to join us. This includes our 4-legged friends! Please fill in your walking field trip permission forms ASAP. Each teacher will collect Twonies for Terry the morning of the walk. Thank you for your kind donation!

ORANGE SHIRT DAY

In recognition of Truth and Reconciliation Day (Monday Sept 30), we will wear Orange Shirts September 29th .

CODE OF CONDUCT

It is very important that you please review and discuss with your child, the school climate matrix found in our halls and on our website. This important document is the result of a collective effort of parents and teachers to define the behavior expectations necessary to assure a positive and safe learning and teaching environment for all.
