ASSEMBLY UPDATE:
RBES students continue to learn about the character trait of Respect. The students were able to meet Cst. Lackie this week and ask questions about what his role is an an RCMP officer in our community. The students really enjoyed their Q & A time with him. You can click here to see the content of Friday's assembly. Each week we focus on one area of our student conduct policy to focus on. This past week was all about lining up! Student of the Week will be starting up again in the next few weeks. We will let you know when we are ready to restart that program and weekly celebration.

We are pleased to be partnering with the Devon Lion's Club to offer our Kindergarten and Grade 1 students, a free vision screening test. The test provided by the Devon Lion's Club is designed to detect possible defects in their vision and recommend referral to a qualified eye care professional – optometrist or ophthalmologist – who can recommend further treatment, if necessary.

This testing is available for any child aged 6 months or more. Its advantage is that the child does not need to verbalize or interpret anything. As you are well aware, young children have difficulty expressing themselves because they lack the verbal skills to do so. Other than looking briefly at the camera, the child’s participation is totally passive.

The testing will take place at Robina Baker Tuesday, October 29 and Wednesday, October 30. The Lion's Club requires parent's permission for the free exam - so please complete the permission form that will be available on PowerSchool on Tuesday, October 22.
