Reminders:

Please remember to do the Daily Health Check with your child and keep them home if your child is sick.  This is still so important and we all really appreciate your support in keeping everyone healthy. The self-assessment tool is at the website below.

ON THE PLAYGROUND:

1.      Please do not bring your dog on the school grounds.

2.      Make a meeting spot for you and your child after school so that you can locate each other.  If all else fails, come to the office please.

3.      Bikes and scooters, or anything with wheels need to be walked on the playground please.

4.

Please remind your child not to bring toys or other sports equipment from home to school unless it is requested by the classroom teacher.  Electronics should also stay at home as well.  Thank you for your continued help with this policy.

 

If your child is going to be away from school, it is important to email your child’s teacher to let them know directly. Also, if you plan to pick up your child early, please email their teacher as well please.  No need to call the office.
