Dear Mount View Families,

Thank you to everyone who took the time to come and chat with your student’s teacher. We always love having these conversations as they offer us the chance to tell you just how wonderful these children are.  

Winter has arrived! Please send your child with appropriate outdoor clothing: snow pants, snow boots, hat, gloves/mitts, warm jacket.  The students go outside for morning recess and lunch recess and only stay inside if the temperature is below –20C with windchill.  

WRITE THEIR NAME ON THE TAG – things get easily mixed up in the hallway. 

Also please have indoor shoes for your child and that this is a pair that stays at school. It is neither safe, nor comfortable for students to wear their heavy boots or socks only the whole day school. 

We have a limited amount of “loaner” indoor shoes and outdoor clothing available for emergencies. If your child brings one of these home, please return it to the school so we can keep helping our students. 

If you have extra warm mittens that you are no longer using we are always in need of extras at the office. 

Winter Concert ticket update 

All the seats for the evening performance have been reserved. Any forms returned next week can only receive afternoon tickets. This is due to the gym safety capacity, thank you for your understanding. 

LOOKING for VOLUNTEERS 

Alien-In Line inline skating residency – December 13-20. Volunteers will be helping students with putting on/taking off skates/helmets. If you are able to volunteer, check with your homeroom teacher for your child’s skate time/day or let the office know if you are offering to volunteer for other classes too. 

Our kindergarten class has an in-school field trip on December 6. The class is from 8:30-11:10. Please let us know if you are able to help out, thank you.

School Council 

Food Drive: From December 1st to the 18th, Mount View School will be collecting donations 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 such as canned fruit/vegetables, soups, pastas and granola bars. Expired food cannot be accepted. Thank you for helping us teach our students why giving is important! 

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend,
