As we kick start our brand-new library, we will be officially opening it with a Scholastic Book Fair.

The students will be able to come visit the library during their scheduled time, and will be able to purchase or look at the Scholastic books offered. The Book Fair will also be open to parents on Parent/Teacher Night, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Coming back from March Break, the students will then be able to start taking out books from the school library.

A huge shout out to our P.P.O. and volunteers for their dedication and hard work.

Thank you for everything that you do for our school.

The last Wednesday in February is Canada's officially-recognized National Pink Shirt / Anti-Bullying Day. This is to raise awareness about the prevention of bullying and promoting kindness and inclusion.

Report cards will be going out this week, on Wednesday, February 26th.

Parent/Teacher Night will be held on Thursday, February 27th. Your child's teacher(s) should have reached out to you, if they require a meeting. If you are needing a meeting with a teacher, please communicate with them.

On February 26th, we will be having our monthly assembly. We will be celebrating students who demonstrated Fairness and Trustworthiness. We will also be talking about the meaning of Pink Shirt Day, and introducing them to the March character trait, Sportsmanship.

P.P.O. Fundraising:

Every Wednesday, students can purchase TCBY frozen yogurt/sorbet or an ice cream sandwich.

Should your children wish to purchase frozen yogurt or sorbet, please send them to school with $3.00. Different flavours will be available.

Should your child wish to purchase an ice cream sandwich, please send them to school with $2.00.

As of 9:05 a.m., the daycare parking becomes a "Kiss-and-Drop" area, and there are 2 staff members to supervise the sidewalk.

Due to the high snowbanks and the safety and security of all students and adults, it is important that parents use the daycare parking as a "Kiss-and-Drop" area. When coming into the drop-off area, please go to the furthest spot, so that it may allow other cars behind you to also enter this area. Once your child(ren) has disembarked your vehicle, they may start walking towards the schoolyard entrance and you may drive off, to allow other cars to disembark their child(ren).

Please be aware and careful when parking on Chemin de l'Usine or any streets around the school, as they are all two-way city owned streets, and that the city has not paved the streets or installed sidewalks.

On another note, I have also contacted the school board, and they are going to find a solution with the snow company, regarding creating a safe path for pedesrians to the street.
