DECEMBER 2021 SPIRIT WEEK
TRIMESTER 1 CHALLENGE
LABELING ITEMS
With the weather continuing to get colder, it helps if students clothing items like hats, gloves, snow pants, boots are labeled with their names.
This helps get the items back to students especially if they lose it during the day and need it for recess the same day!
** Look out for a picture in next week's bulletin for our current lost and found items**

MASKS
As we continue to require masks for students, please remember the following:
It’s a good idea to wash your child’s mask frequently, ideally daily if possible.
Please ensure that your child has a few masks to rotate throughout the average school week
Please send an extra mask in your child’s backpack in the event they need another mask
When choosing masks for your child, please look for masks that have 2 or more layers of breathable fabric, cover their nose and mouth, fit snugly across the sides of their face, and don’t have gaps.
If you need help with getting additional masks, please contact the school’s main office.
