Start Up Paperwork
This week your student will have brought home some important paperwork to be returned to school as soon as possible.
The “Elementary Physical Education and Intramural Information Letter, Acknowledgment of Elements of Risk, Consent to Participate, and Medical Information Form" must be signed and returned to school as soon as possible for your student to be able to participate in physical education.
Please return this form by Friday, September 12, 2025. Any students who have not submitted their form by this date will not be able to participate in physical education.
The class that returns all of their forms fully completed and signed in all the correct places will win a class pizza party! So please get those forms signed and returned.
Additional startup forms will be sent home by email to be completed digitally. We will inform you when these are sent out.
Reminder About Late Arrivals
It is, of course, recommended that your child arrive on time to school.
When students arrive after the bell, they will be required to wait outside the front doors until after the morning announcements are completed. Announcements begin at 9:00am and the length of the announcements varies depending on how many announcements there are on a particular day.
Students of all ages must be accompanied by an adult. Please do not drop them off at the street and drive away. Parents must escort their students all the way into the school through both sets of doors and ensure they have been checked in at the office. We understand some students walk to school with parent supervision, this is an exception, but they will still have to wait outside the doors until we can assist them. Upon arrival students must check in at the office so we can sign them in. Once signed in they may proceed to class.
Hot Dog Day
Hot Dog Day is back!!!
Kids LOVE them and parents get to pack one less lunch! It’s a Win Win situation!!!!
We will be offering Halal chicken hotdogs (same as previous years), Veggie dogs, and chocolate chip cookies from Terra Cotta Cookie Company.
September’s Hot Dog Day is now available on School Cash Online, the rest of the school year will be available in the next few days. Place your September orders today. Please note that this fee does not disappear from your list of items on School Cash Online once it is purchased. If you purchase Hot Dog Day for the entire year, you will be able to go back in and order it over and over again. Please check your history (top right corner of the page) to ensure you are not duplicating your order and your student receives multiple hot dogs. All profits from this initiative will go directly to supporting learning resources to help pay for various events/equipment throughout the year.
In order to make this program happen we rely on Parent/Grandparent Volunteers. We need 3 people every other Monday starting Sept 22nd from 11am - 1pm to help cook, prepare and deliver to the classrooms.
You can sign up for the dates that work for your schedule here.
Please don’t feel you need to come every time if you can only help once or twice in the year.
A current police vulnerable sector check is required to volunteer
at the school.
Fall Fair Trip
We are looking forward to this year's trip to the Fall Fair. The trip will take place Friday September 19, 2025. More details to follow.
If you would like to volunteer for this trip you will need a Halton Regional Police Services Vulnerable Sector Report that has been issued within the last 6 months. If you have already submitted a HRPS VSR you will need to complete the HDSB Annual Offence Declaration.
Student Email Passwords and Google Classroom
When students move from grade 3 to grade 4 their student network ID passwords are updated from a 4 character password to an 8 character password. Please contact your teacher if you require your student’s new password or need access to google classroom.
Snack Programs
Our snack program has not yet started. We have placed an order and are hoping it will be delivered next week, so until then please ensure you pack enough food for your student. It’s better to pack too much food, than have hungry students. We have had several students come to the office looking for snacks already.
Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found is donated to charity regularly. Approximately twice a month, any unclaimed items in our Lost and Found will be donated to charity. If your student is missing an item, please encourage them to look for it in their classroom or come to the front foyer and take a look for their missing items in the Lost and Found.
Personal Items at School
Everything students will need to be successful at school will be provided. Please do not send items, such as pencil cases, binders, toys, books or other personal items to school.
