VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL


Parents please check in at the office and sign in, before entering the school. 
Staff will be asking any parents if they have checked in at the office.
We prefer parents to meet students outside of the building, as this helps with
safety and congestion in our hallways.

Last chance to sign up for vocal choir (grade 4,5 6). Please sign up on this form.
First practice is on Tuesday, September 24th.

Terry Fox is on Thursday. We encourage you to bring a "Toonie for Terry" or
support our school using this link.


EARLY DISMISSAL


Reminder is that first Wednesday of the month. Our first will be Oct 2, 2019. 
There will be no kindergarten on that day, as well. Dismissal will be at 2:20pm. 



POWER SCHOOL AND VERIFICATION


Please fill out your verification forms if you have not done so yet. Thank you
very much if you have already filled it out. If you are new to our school, you
have already completed the forms.  We also have some online field trip forms
that need to be filled out. The walking form is needed so students can
participate in the Terry Fox Walk on Thursday.


Please contact the office if you need assistance.



PARENT COUNCIL AND FUNDRAISING SOCIETY


Both groups are always looking for volunteers for various activities within
our school.  Please contact them if you are interested in helping out.

PARENT CONNECTION

Ecole Coloniale Estates School is hosting, "Technology and the Teenage Brain"
on September 24th, from  5:30 - 7:00pm, in our Multipurpose room,
presented by AHS. Free signup at 


Technology and the Teenage Brain

Parents and children/teens (grades 6–12) are encouraged to attend
this session together.


Technology is a huge part of our children’s lives – and a common concern
for most parents who are learning how to keep up in an ever changing world.
Social media, video gaming, internet use and cell phones may already be topics
of debate within your family. Come together to learn how this modern use of
technology can impact the developing teenage brain. This session will review
some of the risks but also the benefits of technology. Parents and children
will learn ways to stay safe and balanced in their use of technology to better
support positive mental health.
