Weekly Update- Sept 30-Oct 4th

SCHOOL NEWS


We had a great week! The District Cross
Country Run was in Wetaskiwin on Wednesday, Terry Fox on Thursday
and Friday was PJ Day.





































VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL


We welcome and truly enjoy parents in our school. However, all parents
and guests please check in at the office and sign in before entering
the school.  This is so important for everyone's safety as extra adults
in the school need to be accounted for. Please do not be surprised if a
staff member asks if you have checked in with the office.  We want to
keep classroom disruptions to a minimum, so please leave anything for students
to pick up in the office.  Please meet your child outside of the
building, as this helps with safety and congestion in our hallways.
Thank you for helping us keep our students and staff safe.  
The only exception is our Pre-Kindergarten parents as pick up and drop off
procedures are different.  


EARLY DISMISSAL


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



POWER SCHOOL AND VERIFICATION


Thank you for completing the online verification forms.  Please
contact the office if you need assistance. We have approximately
80 students who still need the form filled out.


SKATING


Some classes are starting to go skating at the KNRRC over the next few weeks. 
A skating permission form has been added to Power School. Please
fill it out and look for an email from your child’s teacher indicating
when you will be going skating. 


Farm Credit Canada's Campaign to Drive Away Hunger!


Thanksgiving is a time for being grateful for all that we are fortunate to have in our lives. It can also be a perfect opportunity for children to learn to share their blessings. In the spirit of giving, Bellevue School is organizing a school wide collection of non-perishable food items for the Leduc and District Food Bank by supporting the Farm Credit Canada campaign to Drive Away Hunger. Every classroom will receive bags to collect the donations so they can see the bags fill up every day. Thank you for your generosity to help those who may be in need in our community, and for helping your child learn about generosity and caring for our community. We will be collecting donations from Monday, September 30 to Friday, October 11.  For more information on FCC please see the link below: 
For easy reference, here are the most needed food items (according to Food Banks Canada):
* pasta, rice and sauce * canned meats and fish * meat alternatives (packaged nuts, peanut butter, soy) * beans, soups and stews * canned and powdered milk * canned fruits and vegetables * whole grain cereal * infant foods and formula * cooking supplies (flour, oil, spices) * cash for food banks to purchase fresh items



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. Our Fundraising Society is currently looking for a chair
and will be looking for volunteers for an upcoming dance in October
and a Casino in January.  The next meeting will be on October 16.
