Registration for Kindergarten for 2020/21

INCLEMENT WEATHER

We usually do not send the students out if it is below -21 with

the windchill. But sometimes it is a judgement call.

We have entered a deep freeze, but are hopeful it will warm up.

On very cold mornings, the doors are not open until at 8:15 am.

Please help us ensure all students are properly dressed.

Extra layers and proper hats and mitts are important to stay warm.

Bus students were sent information about the buses and the extreme

cold temperatures. During inside recess on these cold days,

students do activities in their classrooms, but we provide

opportunities in the gym, as well.

When the weather warms, we offer skating (weather dependent)

on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Students need to bring

their own helmet and skates.

We also offer sledding for certain grades, on certain days.

Students must have snow pants to sled.

PARENT COUNCIL AND FUNDRAISING SOCIETY

Our School Council and Fundraising Society is still in need of 7 more parent volunteers to help run our Casino that is happening at the Camrose Casino on January 27 and 28. The shifts may vary from 4pm - 12am, however with more volunteers, the shifts could be shorter.

This is a huge fundraising opportunity for our school. It allows us to purchase items that we would not normally be able to afford, so your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Please contact Genessa at gensimb@gmail.com as soon as possible if you can volunteer.

The next Fundraising Society meeting is on January 15th, 2020 from 6- 6:30pm

Parent Council is January 15th 6:30-8:30pm. They have invited the Alberta School Council Association for a special presentation on the purpose of school councils.
