Dear Parents/Guardians,

It's almost unbelievable that December is just around the corner! The pleasant weather has been amazing, allowing students to enjoy outdoor soccer play at lunch recess. This week was packed with field trips, and the grade 1/2 students had an enriching learning experience with Teacher's Pet. A huge thank you to our dedicated parent volunteers for making these opportunities possible. 

Informational Items: 

Winter Dance Festival 

Save the date! Sound Kreations will be coming to work with our students and teach them how to dance. The dance festival will showcase the students’ hard work, dedication and perseverance. It is sure to be a high energy event!  

The performances (afternoon and evening) will be on December 7, 2023.  

Families must reserve tickets to attend, we will not be able to accommodate drop-in guests due to gym capacity. The ticket order forms were sent home this week with the students, please return the completed forms by December 1 – seats are first come first serve. 

If the form was misplaced, it is attached here as well.

Safety 

When dropping your student off, and picking them up, please use the crosswalk. We cannot ensure the safety of everyone when people are jay-walking to get to school. The area in front of the school is very busy and proper use of the crosswalk, ensures that all pedestrians are visible. 

Please also do not cut through the parking lot at any time. This is also a busy space with cars backing up and limited space to do so. Drivers do not expect to have pedestrians crossing through this area and this poses a safety risk. Please ensure you are always walking around the perimeter of the school and not through the parking lot.   

School Fees 

Please log in to your MyCBE/Powerschool portal to see the school fees that are due. 

Student Supply Fee – this is $20 for kindergarten students and $40 for grade 1-6 students and covers the cost of school supplies. This fee is a central fee and was activated for all students in October. 

Lunch Supervision Fee – if your child stays at school for lunch, then they are attending the lunch program and need to be registered in it. Thank you to all families who completed the registration in their portal. Based on attendance in the program, the school has now registered all remaining students and you should see the fees on your account in December. 

Waivers – if you need to apply for a waiver for financial reasons, please check the CBE Fees and Waivers webpage. This page can be translated using the icon in the top right corner. Waivers need to be completed yearly. Please contact the school office if you have any questions.

From December 1st to the 20th, we will be collecting items for the Food Bank to help those less fortunate. Classes will have a decorative box for our food train to fill up with non-perishable items. December is a wonderful time of year to encourage students to think about why we make donations and to consider everything they have that others may not.
