Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back to third winter, where the temperature says -10 but it feels like -60. While freezing rain and snow disrupted our busses and school plans on Thursday we still had a full week.
Monday started the first day of our automated safe arrival program, there is more info below. We also had Archery practice after school. Next week our Archery team travels to Edmonton to compete in NASP provincials.
Tuesday, the Adams family donated a hot lunch from Wildwood 2 for 1 pizza. I do not believe I saw a single wasted crumb, the students enjoyed it so much.
We also have our School Council Meeting. We discussed upcoming events at the school. Remember that our Purdy's fundraiser is now active.
Thursday we had around 30 students who made the brave trip in to focus on skill practice in their classes. There was also some work on leprechaun traps!
Friday, Bus to Swim permission forms went home with interested students. I have also included a copy linked below. This activity runs for 5 Thursdays starting April 10th. Note that it has a cost of $100 and is capped at 40 students.
Next week we have a pancake breakfast on Tuesday organized by the School Council. Report cards will also be released on Friday. This round we will be posting to the parent portal and printing by request. If you would like your student's report card printed please contact their homeroom teacher and we would be happy to facilitate your request. Our year end report cards will be printed for all students.
GYPSD is seeking feedback on the school calendar please see this link to the survey.
If you have any questions or concerns you can always reach out to the school through the office or email me at alanstoy@gypsd.ca.
Sincerely,
Alan Stoyles
Principal
