Ottawa 67's School Game Day
On Wednesday, November 12th, all grade 3-6 students will attend the Ottawa 67s game against the Kingston Frontenacs at the Canadian Tire Centre. The cost for each student to attend the game is $26. Any parent who wishes to attend the game as well may do so at a cost of $26 for each adult. All payments can be made at https://ocsb.schoolcashonline.com. Parents who join us for the game will chaperon a small group of students, and they must accompany students on the bus, both to and from the arena. Students, teachers and parents will leave shortly after morning announcements, at approximately 9:30 am, to prepare for the 10:30 am puck drop. Students will return to school immediately after the game via buses in the early afternoon. All students are encouraged to bring their lunch and snacks to the arena.
Permission forms, which were sent home this week, must be returned to school no later than Tuesday, October 14th. Also, please fully complete both sides of the Board’s Parent/Guardian Permission Form and return it to your child’s homeroom teacher. Unfortunately, we cannot adjust numbers after our October 14th deadline.
All parent volunteers must be on the school's Volunteer List. Please see this link for information on how to apply to volunteer for any school within the OCSB. When applying, please specify that you want to volunteer with St. Luke(Nepean). We will require several parent volunteers to help make the day run smoothly. If you have questions not answered by the link, please email volunteers@ocsb.ca.

If you plan to volunteer at St. Luke Nepean this upcoming year (ie. field trips, Ottawa 67's Day, sporting events, events in the school etc) a Vulnerable Sector Check is required for anyone to volunteer in a school, including parents. To apply to volunteer in any of our OCSB schools click on this link for instructions. (Summary of Steps Below)
STEP 1: Request the letter for the Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC). VSCs are free with a VSC request letter from our Volunteer Coordinator. Please request the letter from volunteers@ocsb.ca.

To keep volunteering, you will need to complete our annual offence declaration survey.
