Prepared for Class

Here is a checklist of what you will need for school:

• Parent Portal

Please complete all forms and permissions on the parent portal as soon as possible. If you do not complete these forms, particularly the permissions for internet and Google Apps for Education use, your child may miss out on some learning activities that will begin as soon as the second week of school.

• Agenda (provided by the school)

Please check, sign, and send your child's agenda to school with them every day. We check agendas every day for notes, and often use the agenda to communicate with parents. Students will also write homework assignments and important notes in their agendas every day. If you know ahead of time that your child will be late or absent, please use the attendance portal.

• Indoor Shoes, and Clothing

Please ensure your child has non-marking gym shoes (labeled with their name and to be left at school) for indoor use. Because of Gym and QDPA (Quality Daily Physical Education) this is a safety need. Students are not expected to change for Gym, however, students are expected to dress appropriately to actively participate in Gym. For everyone's safety, crocs, dress shoes, flip-flops, and sandals are not permitted for Physical Education. If a student is not dressed appropriately for Gym, they will not be able to participate.

• Food and Water Bottles:

Students are encouraged to keep a sealable water bottle (water only please, and labeled with their name) with them in class. Students will be given two breaks throughout the day for eating. Please ensure your child is sent to school with healthy snacks and lunches to ensure they are fuelled up for their learning.

• School Supplies:

The school will provide students with the supplies they need over the year, however, they are more than welcome to keep a small pencil case that will fit in their student work drawer with their own supplies (e.g., markers, pencil crayons, etc.).

• Kleenex Box:

We would greatly appreciate donations of Kleenex boxes to last the school year.

• Earbuds:

To cut down on the transfer of head lice, please consider sending an inexpensive set of earbuds to school with your child. These will be labelled and kept just for them. Please send them in a Ziploc bag with your child’s name on them. Students who do not bring earbuds will have access to shared school headphones when they are available.

Merci!
