Weekly Update- Jan 27-30

WEEKLY NEWS
Students had a great time participating in Mission ImPossible. 
It is always a popular activity in PE. Students get a chance to
really work on their fundamental movement skills of balance,
stability, and other manipulative skills.
Over the last month, we have been working with each grade talking
about responsibility.  We have had discussions about students being able
to take responsibility for our own actions. How to act more
responsible in different situations. How to be more responsible by helping
around the house. Being responsible with school work and other ideas. 

Feel free to continue the talk at home.

Coronavirus Information
Black Gold School Division has a Pandemic Plan in place which
focuses on both preventative measures and identifying flu-like illnesses. 
This plan was created with the guidance of Alberta Health Services
and can be implemented if necessary. The plan highlights six key
preventative measures which can be practiced at all times to prevent
the spread of any virus.  These key measures are:
1. If ill, stay home from work, school and avoid public places.
Seek medical attention if symptoms progress.

2. One of the best ways to prevent influenza is to get the influenza
vaccine every year.

3. Hands should be cleaned before preparing food, eating, touching
one’s face and after coughing or sneezing, using the toilet and after
handling soiled material.

4. Wash your hands with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand rub.

5. Cough or sneeze into your sleeve rather than your hand.

6. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth after shaking hands or
touching hard surfaces like counters and door handles or other surfaces
that may contain influenza and other viruses.
For further information regarding the Coronavirus infection you
can refer to the Government of Canada and Alberta Health Services

Weekly Update- Jan 20-24

WEEKLY NEWS
Another great week at Bellevue!  We were happy to be able to get outside
and go sledding, skating and play in the snow.  What a difference a week
makes with the weather. We want to thank the Beaumont Society for the
Arts for sponsoring a presentation of Alberta Opera’s Sleeping Beauty. 
Kindergarten also celebrated Chinese New Year this week. Of course,
there are many other great things happening at our school.
Stay up to date on our facebook site, as well.


LITERACY NIGHT
What a great time we had at Literacy Night!  Here are a few pictures from
the night. Thank you to Ruby Seinen and all the parent organizers for putting
on this event. This small group of parents does a tremendous amount of work
for our school and we truly appreciate it! We would also like to thank those who
were able to come out and fun!  We will continue to have events for families throughout the year. We have a dance planned, another movie night, and more!

PARENT DRIVE THRU

 Student, staff and parent safety outside at drop off and pick up time is our number
one priority every day.

There is a detailed graphic below for all parents to refer to, as we want our students and parents to have a positive experience coming to and from school. We are so fortunate to have plenty of parking between the street and the community centre parking lot, that arrival and dismissal should be a pleasant experience for everyone. 
Just a reminder that the drive thru is for quick pick ups/drop offs only. 
Please remain in your vehicle and pull up to pick up your child.  Please do not stop
in the drive thru as it creates a back up in the line, which causes problems for the
street traffic.   Students should be picked up in the drive thru area and not along
the road. Cars should not be parked or stopped in the bus zones, as it creates
unsafe situations for other cars, buses and pedestrians. If the drive thru is
backed up, parents need to drive around the block and try again or go and
park the car in the community centre. 


Thank you for choosing safety before convenience and we truly appreciate your
cooperation.

WINTER DEEP FREEZE
What a week for weather.  Even though there were record low
temperatures, our students found ways to get active, be creative

art clubs, dance clubs, and reading clubs.   We are looking forward
to getting back outside and the warmer weather.
