News from around the school

As a friendly reminder, for the safety of our students and staff, please do not use the staff parking lot or the accessible parking stalls to pick up or drop off students before and after school.

Keeping these areas clear helps prevent congestion and ensures that staff can park safely and that accessible spaces remain available for those who require them.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school community safe.

Dear Parents and Families: Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!) and—as

always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.

The Book Fair will take place from December 7th - 11th during the school day at the SMS Library. On Thursday, December 10th during the Winter Learning Expo, the Book Fair will be open from 4:30 - 7:00pm for the Family Event!

Also, Scholastic has again partnered with Mydoh, a cashless payment solution, so students can shop at the Fair without cash. Parents and guardians can sign up for the Mydoh app for free (no monthly fee) and kids receive a physical Smart Cash Card, which can be used to securely buy items (like books!). And there’s peace of mind in knowing that Mydoh is backed by RBC.

*Note that it takes 5-7 business days to receive the physical Smart Cash Card, and that the

digital Smart Cash Card cannot be used during the school day. Visit the website for more

information on how to sign up: https://www.mydoh.ca/mydoh-scholastic/
