Weekly Update #3

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Terry Fox Walk – New Date

Our Terry Fox Walk has been rescheduled from Friday, September 25 to Monday, September 28 at 1:00 p.m. This change will allow our students to walk alongside the students from Vegreville Composite High School. Students will be walking to and from the high school and will be back in time for the end of the school day.

We’re excited for this opportunity to come together, honour Terry Fox’s legacy, and build connections between students from our schools. Walking together will be a wonderful way to strengthen our sense of community here in Vegreville.

Thank you to our families for your patience, flexibility, and understanding with this change. We look forward to a great afternoon together!

We love having parents and visitors in our school community! To help keep our students safe and make sure our school day runs smoothly, all visitors must check in at the main office upon arrival.

Whether you are dropping off a lunch, volunteering in a classroom, or picking up your child, please stop by the office to sign in . For the safety of the children, to go past the office, visitors will need to have the Volunteer Form filled out. This can be done here through Permission Click. and is good for the entire school year. Multiple students can be added to one form.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school a safe, welcoming place for everyone!

Please ensure that the bus lane is kept clear at all times. Parking in front of the school is dedicated for busses only. Thank you for your cooperation.

We kindly ask for your cooperation and mindfulness when packing your child’s meals.
