Important Information for the Week
Halloween
We don't need any reminders that Wednesday is Halloween! Students are able to wear costumes at school, but please ensure that no masks or weapons are involved. It is also important that our primary students do not wear long robes or items they might trip on when going up and down stairs. Our youngest students will enjoy a parade in the morning inside through the school, and all students will also celebrate this special day in their classes. A gentle reminder that we do have students who have severe food allergies. If you are considering sending in treats to be shared, please reference the poster at the end of this Peek at the Week.
Edsby
New invitations were sent out this week to parents not currently signed up with Edsby.... and we've had.another 45 or so families sign up. If you aren't currently on Edsby, please get in touch so we can connect you! It's a great way to keep in touch with what is going on in your child (or children's)'s class, as well as access to information from the school. Don't miss the opportunity to stay in the loop with all the great things going on at our school.
Techonology Tip
Websites on a Desktop/laptop including Edsby appear very different than on a Smart phone. To access the school’s Edsby news feed on your Smart phone you need to select the menu button located at the bottom right, then select Ganaraska Trail School from the drop down menu. This is where school news, the calendar and updated information sections will appear. To read the “Peek at the Week” you must click on the link provided.
Hot Lunch
Please remember to complete all areas of the hot lunch form when ordering. When using School Cash Online you must complete all the steps...the final page gives an option to print/email a confirmation. No email confirmation? Then your order was not completed. Check your payment history and reorder if needed.

ThisThursday November 1st is our annual Donation Drive Kickoff. Returning for the second year, our School Council Donation Drive takes place throughout the month of November. 100% of all proceeds go to support our School Council initiatives. For more information about the initiatives for this year, see last week's Peek at the Week. Contributions can be made through School Cash Online or by sending payment to the school office. Payment options are also available, as well as tax receipts for more than $20. Have a business? Grandparents, aunts/uncles looking for ways to support your child's school? Why not suggest the donation drive to them as well...
