School Shopping is an exciting time for many households. The following information is taken from the UGDSB Parent Guide. We also added in a few Palmerston-Specific and Kindergarten-specific things to our list too.
We ask that everything that comes to school, as well as all clothing worn to school, is clearly labelled with your child's name - this includes footwear.
Please send your child(ren) with:
knapsack or tote bag for personal belongings that can fit their lunch bag and sweater
lunch bag with containers/packages they can open by themselves
seasonal outdoor wear (we play outside every day at recess and during outdoor learning)
extra sets of clothes for spills or bathroom accidents - please put extra underwear, pants, shirts, and socks and please make sure everything is labelled with your child's name
Indoor shoes with velcro straps
1" binder, 3 cups of playdough if possible, but will be provided if needed
personal water bottle is suggested
We ask that Kindergarten students bring velcro shoes or slip on shoes fit for gym, even if they can tie their shoes. Laces knot, fray, and become uneven.
Students can use our water bottle filling stations in the hallways and classroom sinks to refill their water bottles.
Students will be engaging in regular hand-washing and hand sanitizing throughout the day. The school will provide soap, paper towels, and hand sanitizer. You don't need to send hand sanitizer with your child as we will provide it.
If you have any questions, please check in the Parent Guide linked above and/or reach out to us at the school. We can be reached at 519-343-3520.
