Principal Update Jan 10

Hello,

 

The first week back from the holidays is in the books and the students and staff at Ancaster Meadow have quickly got back into school routines.  Unfortunately a number of students have been exhibiting flu-like symptoms. To help minimize the spread of illness, Hamilton Public Health recommends that individuals who are ill, especially with fever and vomiting symptoms, stay home. If a student has a fever please have them stay at home until they are better.

 

Term 2 Pizza goes live starting Fri Jan 10 and is open until Mon Jan 20. All orders must be placed through SchoolCash Online, no cash orders and no late orders can be accepted. Both the Pizza Monday and Lunchbox program our run by parent volunteers from the Ancaster Meadow Home & School Association. Thank you to all our volunteers who run these programs.

 

Guidance counsellors from Ancaster High school are coming to talk to our grade 8 students. Gr 8 Option Sheet night for students and parents will be Mon 20 Jan 6 – 7:30pm at Ancaster High.

 

A reminder to families that Friday Jan 24 is a PA Day. There is no school for students on that day.

 

Families are encouraged to check https://www.hwdsb.on.ca/about/labour-update/ for information about the current Labour situation. Following @HWDSB on Twitter is also a good source of information.
