Hello Families,

Happy Halloween Everyone!  I hope you all had a fantastic evening if you celebrate this event.  I have attached our “Week at a Glance” for your reference.

There are 8 divisions going on a Cultural field trip this Tuesday.  Please make sure you have signed the permission forms and returned them to your child’s teacher. (Division 1,2,4,5,9,10,11&12)

Attendance is really important at school.  Unless your child is ill, please make every effort to have your child attend regularly.  Every day they miss, puts their learning in jeopardy.  If you need support in this area, please reach out and let me know.

PAC Bottle Drive on Sunday November 7th from 9:00am to 12:00pm in the Ruth King parking lot.
