Dear Parents/Guardians,

Our first round of enrichment for this school year was INCREDIBLE! Students moved through the hallways transitioning to their classes with excitement and enthusiasm. We cannot wait to see what wonderful things they will produce, create and share! 

Informational Items

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.   

Clothing Donations  

Jacket Racket has been providing clean, gently used winter jackets to Calgary children since the 1980’s. The project runs every year from mid-October to mid-November. Coats, snow pants, hats and mittens are collected, sorted and distributed by a group of dedicated volunteers. The distribution is done through the Calgary Board of Education and the Calgary Catholic School District.  

You can drop off your donations just inside the front doors of the school, through the month of October. We are looking for a volunteer, who can drive the donations to the drop off location on November 3, 2023, between 10am-12pm. Please contact the office for more details. Thank you!

Skip The Depot Fundraiser 

Tired of hauling your bottles in?  They can be easily donated to our fundraising association through a pick up service called Skip The Depot.  If you use this referral link, our fundraising association will receive $15 for each new customer who successfully completes a $15 pickup.   If you'd like to donate your pickup proceeds to our fundraising association make sure to pick "Mount View Home & School Association''.  They ask that you schedule a pick up with a minimum of 150 containers.  Thanks to those who have already donated their empties!   

Next Meeting 

Next School Council meeting and Mount View School Home & School Association AGM will be  October 17 @ 6:30PM.  It will be a virtual meeting.  Link to the Teams meeting is here   

A reminder that ALL parents and guardians are invited to attend. 

 

Have a wonderful weekend !!!
