School Council and Parent Fundraising Meetings
School Council and Parent Fundraising Meetings
School Council and Parent Fundraising Association
MEETING: Monday, September 22nd @ 6:00 pm
We are desperately seeking parent volunteers to help with the Parent Fundraising Association. We would love 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.
