Reminders:
- Please do not park in the staff parking lot or spaces on Matson Road when dropping off your children. There are very limited spaces and if you are parked in the spaces, the Ruth King staff will have no spaces to park.
- Please remember to keep your children home if they are not feeling well. We have had to send several students home who have come to school sick. We are trying to keep everyone safe. Please follow these guidelines.
- Please remind your child not to bring toys (including Pokemon cards) 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 or email the office.
|
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. |
Staff Spotlight
I had the lovely opportunity to interview a Ruth King staff member, Ms. Chan. I now know some cool and some surprising things about her. I have asked her five questions and here are the answers.
Ms. Chan teaches Grade 2 and it is her fourth year working at Ruth King! Before coming to Ruth King, she worked at Canadian Tire (I was very surprised!)
Ms. Chan’s favourite part about working at our school are the kids, the staff and the families.
When she isn’t working, she likes to paddleboard and work in her garden. Her favourite book is Eyes That Kiss in the Corners. This book is teaching us that everyone is beautiful.
