Notes:

Here are a few points of information pertaining to the week and year ahead:

Leader/Assistant:  Our first leader of the day will be Caleb and our first assistant will be Carter this week.

Theme:  Our theme will be Fall this week.  We will also be touching on Terry Fox.

Backpack Tags:  I will be attaching a tag to your child's backpack, indicating their regular afternoon dismissal routine.  Kindly use a permanent marker to add their name, if you choose to.

Fall Coat: Kindly ensure that your child is dressed warmly for outdoor recesses each day, including a fall coat.  Recesses will be much more enjoyable for them if they are prepared for the weather.

Splash Pants/Rain Boots: Kindly have your child wear splash pants and rain boots on days when the ground is wet so that they do not get their clothes and shoes wet or muddy in the school yard.  Students go outside for recesses as long as it is not pouring, however, the play equipment may be wet.

Independence: Kindly have your child practice zippering up or buttoning up their coat(s) at home so that they can get dressed for outdoor recesses and afternoon dismissal as independently as possible.  Merci beaucoup!

Have an amazing week!
