Thank you to everyone for helping us practise our Reunification drill on Friday, Sept. 28th and for your patience as we figure out the best plan of action in the event of a real disaster. Our staff made note of things that we will change to make things go more quickly as we want to reunite you with your child as soon as possible and still know where everyone has dispersed. All feedback would be appreciated and if any parents/guardians have expertise in emergency planning and/or evacuation procedures, we would greatly appreciate your input as well. I just want to say thank you to my staff and to Marketa Lund for all your work in making this drill run smoothly. Well done everyone!

Reminders:
- Drop Off and Pick Up – please remember that the front parking lots off Jacklin Rd. are not for drop off or pick up. These parking lots are marked staff only and are not suitable for drop off and pick up as it is dangerous for our students to be walking in this area with all the vehicle traffic. Please use Matson Rd. for drop off and pick up.
- Toys at School – please refrain from sending toys to school with your child unless it is for show and tell or you have made special arrangements with your child’s teacher. Toys from home have been causing some unnecessary friction on the playground and in the classroom.
- Extra Clothes – please send a spare set of clothes with your child in case of accidents and/or wet clothing due to rain. We are heading into fall so there may be more rainy days.
- Lost & Found – there are several hoodies and jackets and other lost items in the foyer of the school. Please come in and check to see if your child is missing anything. Also, it would be very helpful if you could write your child’s name on their belongings so that we know who to give them back to. Thank you for your help with this.
- Verification Packages – please return the forms and fill out the ones online. If you are not able to get online, please let the school know so that we can help you with these.
