WINTER DEEP FREEZE
What a week for weather. Even though there were record low
temperatures, our students found ways to get active, be creative
and mindful during indoor recesses. We had activities in the gym,
library, the classroom, and even in our hallways. From intramurals,
art clubs, dance clubs, and reading clubs. We are looking forward
to getting back outside and the warmer weather.
REPORT CARDS AND POWERSCHOOL
As per our Assessment Plan (posted to our website), just a reminder
that the Parent Portal to access marks in PowerSchool will be closed
until January 31 to allow teachers to complete report cards. You can
still access permission forms and make payments online, however

You will receive a PDF document by email of your child's first

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.
Thank you for choosing safety before convenience and we truly appreciate
your cooperation.
your cooperation.
SNOW CLEARING
Please do not park on the street on Monday. Beaumont is clearing our street
of snow.
RECESS OPPORTUNITIES
When the weather warms up, we will be offering skating (weather dependent)
on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at lunch recess. Students need to
bring their own helmet and skates.
We also offer sledding for certain grades, on certain days. Students must
have snow pants, mitts and hats to sled.
PARENT COUNCIL AND FUNDRAISING SOCIETY
Due to the cold weather, these meetings and nights were postponed.
The new date is to be determined. Stay tuned.
ELECTRONICS ROUNDUP
