Rousseau Track & Field – Request for Parent Volunteers (REVISED: June 2nd)
Dear Parents/Guardians of Students in Gr 3 to Gr 6,
Rousseau Track & Field Day
We will be having our Track & Field event at Rousseau this week for all students in Gr.3-6. We have it scheduled for Thursday, June 2nd (REVISED due to inclement weather on June 1st) beginning at 9:30 am, and ending at approximately 3:00 pm. Parents and Guardians are more than welcome to come over to the school to cheer students on. As per HWDSB policy, spectators are encouraged to wear a mask and respect social distancing rules.
Please remember to send your child with a comfortable pair of running shoes, and have them dressed for the weather. Please ensure that they have sunblock, their lunch and a bottle of water. They will be outside for most of the school day.
