Concert Postponed
Concert Postponed
Dear Families,
Our Christmas Concert, originally scheduled for December 2 and 3rd, will be postponed to the Spring to allow students more time to prepare. The Spring concert will be on May 11th and 12th.
After reviewing our schedule and the time available for practice, there is not enough time to prepare the concert to the standard our students deserve. Putting together a performance takes a great deal of coordination, rehearsal, and preparation, and we want our students to have the opportunity to showcase their very best work. We could not book a later date in December as we get available dates from the Morinville Cultural Centre, and later December dates were not available.
We will be looking ahead to a Spring concert date on May 11th and 12th, which will allow more time for students and staff to prepare a performance that truly reflects their effort and talent.
Thank you for your understanding and support. We’re excited to bring you a wonderful performance in the Spring.
Kendra Thompson
Principal

We are grateful for the contributions of our volunteers who play a vital role in our school programs. To ensure a safe and supportive environment, all volunteers must complete the annual SPS Volunteer Guidelines and Confidentiality Agreement and adhere to confidentiality standards in line with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP)
The annual SPS Volunteer Guidelines and Confidentiality Agreement will be available for parents to complete through PowerSchool, where you normally complete permission forms. Volunteering is a privilege managed by the school Principal, who ensures that all volunteer work supports school staff efforts. We value your dedication and commitment to our students, our schools and our communities and look forward to continuing to welcome you into our schools.
Volunteers must also submit a Criminal Record Check. The Criminal Record Check is kept on site for 3 years. Volunteers can request a letter from the school to take to the RCMP station so that the Criminal Record check is free.

NEXT MEETING:
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17th at 6:00 pm

We are desperately seeking parent volunteers to help with the Parent Fundraising Association. We would love to recruit at least one parent in each grade group from Pre-K - Grade 4.
Last year, we did not have a Parent Fundraising Association, and we would like to resume operating to help with playground fundraising initiatives.
School Council Meetings are held once per month. Attending these meetings is an opportunity to hear school updates, consult with the school administration, and offer advice to the School Division.
For more information, please call the school or email:
Thank you
Thank you
Our school is grateful for the monthly monetary donation from Midstream Support Society. This generous donation helps hungry students start the school day with a nutritious breakfast, lunch or snacks.
Focused and Effective Communication
Sturgeon Public Schools believes that the quickest and most effective way to resolve a concern regarding your child is to address it at the most direct level. If you have a concern, please first talk to the classroom teacher for assistance.
Toys, Pokemon Cards and Hockey Cards
We kindly ask that students keep toys at home. We've noticed that when students bring toys to school, they can become upset if the toys get lost or misplaced. Keeping toys at home helps avoid these situations and ensures that everyone can focus on their school activities. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
