Did you order a yearbook, yet?
Has your child been reading every night?
Rock your Socks!
Let's get people talking about World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, 2018!
How? By wearing #LotsOfSocks!
But not just any socks...
...wear the official #LotsOfSocks socks, other brightly coloured socks, long socks, printed socks, 1 sockā¦ even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes. If you do not normally wear socks, then wear them. And why stop at socks? Wear #LotsOfSocks t-shirts, WDSD t-shirts and other brightly colored clothing.
Some Friendly Reminders -
Drop off time for students at primary and elementary begins at 8:15 am. When using the drop off lane, please be sure that students exit the vehicle on the curb side. Parents may not exit the vehicle. Be sure students only exit when your car is parked between the two crosswalks. We can best ensure the safety of all students, parents, and staff when our drop off procedures are followed.
If you are picking up your child from school, you must notify the school office by 2:15 pm. You can call earlier in the day, or even, days ahead of time. It is also very helpful to send your child's teacher a note in the agenda or an email.
