There is no such thing as poor weather but only poor choices of clothing.  You will be outside each day, so bringing a proper jacket (rain jacket for those wet days and a warm winter jacket for the cold days) for whatever the day may bring. In winter, you should have mitts, a warm hat and warm waterproof boots. Making sure that you are prepared for all types of weather will allow us to get outside as much as possible throughout the school year.  

Physical Education gym strip - Please send non marking gym shoes to participate in PE class when we are finally allowed to use the gym again. You also should have appropriate, supportive footwear/running shoes during gym and Daily Physical Activity (DPA).

Please make sure to have indoor shoes once the weather starts to get wet (it is not essential right now). We like to keep our class clean enough to sit on the floor if you like working there!

As there are growing people in here, I definitely allow students to have small, healthy, quiet snacks during class time.  Please refrain from bringing sugary morning snacks (sugary snacks greatly reduces student attention).  Eating healthy snacks in the morning greatly increases student engagement and focus which will help your learning. 

You are encouraged to drink plenty of water throughout the day.  I will encourage students to bring home their water bottles at the end of each week so that they can be cleaned. Please send them back on Monday morning.

Environmental responsibility and stewardship will be a major theme this year. When possible, please pack your lunch in REUSABLE containers. Students are to bring home any snack and lunch garbage that they bring to school.

We do have students with severe allergies to peanuts  in the school. ***Please do not send any food that contains or may contain peanuts.***
