Winter Has Arrived! News and Notes.

Dear Families,

Only in Canada do the leaves and the snow fall together!

With the snow on the ground, all students are being reminded to keep the snow on the ground. Please help with this conversation at home – we know snow is fun, and children are encouraged to make a snow fort or snow family, but not to allow any snow projectiles! Thank you.

Students are also encouraged to change into their indoor shoes. We hope to keep our hallways and classroom floors as dry as possible. A change of clothes is also helpful!

Please see this link to learn about snow clearing and inclement weather days.
