Important Notification from Southland Transportation
We have been informed by Southland Transportation, that hockey sticks and large goalie pads are not allowed on the school bus. Any sports equipment must fit in the students’ backpacks. The school has hockey sticks available in the shed outside for students to use.
Dressing for the Weather
Please make sure that your child has the appropriate clothing for recess, lunch break, and / or community walks. The children go outside as long as the weather is warmer than -20 degrees.
Commercial Messages
From time to time, the school sends out messages with commercial content, such as fun lunch notices, ordering pictures or special fundraisers. For example, the Parent Association is hosting an exciting new apple fundraiser this fall. In order to receive these emails families need to subscribe to receive commercial messages from the school.
