OCTOBER 25, 2020

Our students continue to enjoy the snow and the different play activities that it offers at recess times. Please remember to send your child with cold weather gear. Hats, mitts, ski pants, winter coats, and boots help the students to stay warm and comfortable while playing in the outdoors. They also continue to go outside for physed classes and we want to ensure that everyone stays warm and dry.

Don't forget to label their items, so if they are misplaced we can find the owner quickly.

Sign Up for Your Parent Teacher Meeting!

We will be holding our annual Parent Meetings on Tuesday, November 3 and Wednesday, November 4 from 3:30 to 7:00 pm. Your child’s teacher may also be available for additional time throughout the week - please touch base with them. Teachers will be available for video conference for your 15 minute time slot. Due to our safety protocols and restrictions, there will be no meetings held at the school.

To book your time, just go to the SignUp website & choose Robina Baker Parent-Teacher Meetings.

JUST A REMINDER . . .

RBES will be having a Black and Orange dress up theme day on Friday, October 30th. We are encouraging students to wear black and orange and/or funky halloween socks or t-shirts (of which we have seen a few already).

Please do not send any treats or snacks for the class as we are not able to share anything and they will be sent back home. Thank you!

There is still time to get in on the draw! You can also send the link to friends or family for a chance to win and raise funds for our school!

The Robina Baker Parent Fundraising Committee is the primary fundraising body for Robina Baker Elementary School in Devon, Alberta.

We serve the school by providing funds for the following that would otherwise not be available to our students including:

• School and classroom supplies for art classes and library

• Subscriptions to computer programs such as Mathletics which is aligned with the Alberta Curriculum

• Special programs including cultural shows, performances and art programs

• Technology including offsetting the costs of items such as chrome book carts, sound systems and smart boards.

Our eventual dream is to expand and enhance our playground at the school but Covid has hit our fundraising hard and the primary goal of this fundraiser is to continue to support the annual items that we pay for in the school including agendas and our Mathletics subscription.

Ticket Sales End: November 1, 2020

School Re-entry 2020-2021

Alberta School Councils' Association (ASCA) is conducting a survey to measure the “pandemic pulse” in the return to schooling with Covid-19 implications.

All parents / guardians in Alberta with children in Kindergarten to Grade 12 are invited to participate in the survey.

Participation is anonymous, and will inform the ASCA Board of Directors on parents’ perspectives during the Fall 2020 school re-entry. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. All responses are confidential.

The survey closes on Friday, November 6, 2020 at 11:59 p.m.

Thank you for your time and efforts!

Both ANNUAL GENERAL meetings will be virtual meetings and anyone from our RBES school community is eligible and welcome to attend!
