Woodlawn PAC March News
February was a very busy and exciting month as it was “I Love to Read” month.
With the help of volunteers we were able to offer teacher support by reading to students one on one with the direction of the classroom teacher. This was seen as a great help to teachers and we may look at continuing down the road.
Thank you to all who volunteered at this years book fair. Mrs. Loewen greatly appreciated all your help. We saw lots of families and students come through the library. Was exciting to see this back!
We are very fortunate that with the support of our Woodlawn families, we were able to spread kindness to our staff again with “We LOVE to READ a LATTE” The staff was so very grateful for all the treats and books!
Was very exciting to be able to enjoy Winter Fun Days again at school. PAC and other volunteers were there managing the hot chocolate station. It was such a delight to see all the smiley faces sipping on their hot chocolate.
THANK YOU to our Woodlawn Community! Without your support, volunteer hours and donations, we would not have the success that we do.
Please note, before volunteering, all required checks must be completed prior to volunteering. (criminal and child abuse)
Our school administrators are more than happy to assist with how to start this process.

Skating
All students in grade 3 and 4 will have the opportunity to go skating on March 14 and 15. Class notices and informed consent forms will be sent home and parents are asked to have helmets fitted and skates sharpened in preparation for the fun. If you absolutely cannot beg, borrow or buy the equipment, we do have some basic skates and helmets as a back up at the school. We welcome any parents who have any extra equipment they may want to share to call me so that all students can join in the fun! Please be aware that hockey sticks are not allowed to be transported on the school division buses. If your child would like to bring a stick please make arrangements to drop it off and pick it up at the school.
** Please note that all helmets must be CSA approved hockey helmets. This is a new rule this year.
Kindergarten Registration
If your child is eligible for Kindergarten Registration (must be five years of age on or before Dec. 31, 2023), our online registration is now available.

Our Scholastic Virtual Book Fair was a success! Thank you to all families, teachers, and students who participated, supporting our school while enhancing home libraries.

SCHOOL BUS LOOP/SCHOOL ZONE SAFETY
Staff or parent vehicles caught driving by a bus loading/unloading with lights flashing may be reported by the bus driver or receive a ticket directly from the RCMP who are monitoring drive-bys, including school bus loops. This is a very costly mistake.
Please take note of the 30 km/h area school zone signs on streets around our school. The 30 km/h speed limit is in effect Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 5:00 pm during the school year.
Please do not use the driveway or parking lot at Woodlawn Terrace Condominiums as a holding spot while dropping off or picking up your children. 
Parents and Volunteers Please Note…
An important reminder...the office should be your first stop when you enter the school building during the school day. This minimizes disruptions to teachers during their teaching and keeps us accountable as to who is in our building. The secretary will be happy to assist you at the office. Please use the main doors on Henry Street to enter the school. Stopping in at the office allows us to ensure that we know of everyone who is in the building should we need to contact you or should we have to evacuate the school for any reason.
If you are volunteering please remember to sign in at the office and take a volunteer badge.
If you are picking up your child during the school day (between 9:08 and 3:45) please sign your child out at the office. The secretary will call your child to the office to meet you.
If you have something to drop off for your child, please label the item with your child’s name and homeroom, and drop it off at the office. The secretary will call your child to the office to pick up the item.
