Grade 5 Girls' Group
Thank you to Mrs. Orum for running a lunch time yoga session for Miss Lajoie and Mrs. Stone’s “Girls' Group”. They focused on self love and kindness!
Parking at the school
There has been some concern about the safety of students that are being dropped off in the mornings. The staff parking lot is very congested and does not offer the room to safely drop students off. Please see the attached map to show appropriate drop off locations for students. We ask that if you are using a parking lot, please park appropriately and walk your child to the doors to ensure they get into the building safely. There is a dedicated drop off zone on the north side of 7th Avenue West. We are asking you not to park on the south side of 7th Avenue West as it impedes traffic flow on that street. If you are parking / dropping off in the bus loop (between 9:00 am - 2:30 pm or after 3:30 pm), ensure you are only parking on the sidewalk side of the loop.
Elementary School Skating Schedule (Gr. 1-6)
All skating times will be from 1:00-2:00 pm. Students will require a pair of skates and a helmet. The school does have some skates/helmets that students can borrow if they do not have some. Any parents that are available to help tie skates would be appreciated.
