Skating Starts this week!

The Kindergarten through grade 4 students will be going skating for two weeks this year. This first week is January 20-23 and the second one occurring February 24-27. Each grade will have a half-hour time slot on the ice in which they will be participating in learn to skate activities and games which are appropriate for their ability level.

*** A few permission forms are still needed. As per our field trip policy, these need to be filled out by 3:15 pm today (Sunday, January 19). The permission form is available on PowerSchool and provides permission for both weeks. If the weather requires us to change our week of skating, we will let parents know, but this permission form will cover both weeks.

Complete details are available on our website

Congratulations to all of our current Student's of the Week! You can click on this link for individual pictures. Just a reminder: All parents are always invited to attend our assemblies. You can come for a few minutes to watch your child get Student of the Week or stay for the whole assembly!

This year we don't have a dedicated staff member who will be at the arena for all of the skating. This means that we need more volunteers on the ice. If you can skate, please consider coming out to help! If you can't skate, but have time, we always need help with tying skates as well. If you are able to volunteer, please email your child's teacher. Thank you in advance for your help!

The Student Drop-Off Area located on the northwest side of the school along the teacher’s parking lot is a drop and go area. Please allow the traffic to keep moving and limit your parking to two minutes or less so that other parents may safely drop-off their children. If parents want to visit after drop off we ask that they park elsewhere. Also, using crosswalks is not only a good way to set an example for our children, it also is the law. Please set a good example and use the crosswalks at all times. These small things are extra important in weeks like we just had where the buses are not running causing so much traffic in and around the school.

It is Skating Week next week and we need volunteers both on ice and in the dressing rooms tying skates. TWO parents are required to be on the ice at all times with the children. You need not be highly skilled skater, just able to get around a bit on the ice. If you are able to go out with your child’s class please let your teacher know or if you know of an aunt, uncle or grandparent who can skate please encourage them to volunteer. We are so lucky to provide this opportunity for the children, it would be a shame if a class would have to miss out!

Black Gold School Division’s “Council of School Council’s” will be held in February. We are excited to be invited to this event and look forward to collaborating with other local School Councils.
