PANCAKE BREAKFAST/CHRISTMAS BAZAAR & CRAFT FAIR – NOV. 15TH
Join us for a delicious pancake breakfast and great Christmas ideas. Tickets will be sold ahead of time through the school. If you buy you tickets through school, your child(ren) will earn an out of uniform pass (date to be announced later).
SUPER BINGO
Many thanks to Mr. Sellers and all who helped with Super Bingo for all the hard work in providing a fun day for everyone. All proceeds from Bingo go directly to the school. A profit of $4,000 was realized. We look forward to the next Super Bingo in the Spring. Thanks also to all of those who came to play Bingo—without you super Bingo would not have been such a success.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
We are in the season of unpredictable weather conditions. First and foremost, please make sure that your children are dressed for the weather. Unless the temperature is below 30 degrees or it’s raining or snowing, etc., the children will wait outside in the morning and/or have recess.
If weather conditions are questionable, please listen to the weather reports on radio and TV. We will also use the School Reach phone system. That is why we need accurate phone numbers.
FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY
Please be mindful of the drop off procedures in the morning. From 7:45 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. no one should stop or slow up to watch your child enter the building on 112th, Avenue G or Avenue H. No one ever is to wait to watch your child enter the building when you are in the drop off area between the two driveways on the parking lot. If you need to drop off your child after 7:30 a.m., please do not park in the traffic drop off lane as described above. A parked car at that time will be in the way of the traffic flow and could cause an accident. Please be respectful to the adults who help monitor traffic. Also, do not have the children sit in your cars and wait for the second bell to ring. WHEN THESE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED, ERRATIC DRIVING OCCURS AND A CHILD WILL GET HURT.
