Please ensure your child has the following:

• a bathing suit, worn under their clothes in the morning, and a towel (labelled, please!)

Looking forward to a fun-filled day!

FIELD TRIP UPDATE

Bonjour les Parents,

Our field trip to the Public library will take place as scheduled, however our picnic at the Richcraft splash pad has been cancelled due to the weather forecast.  We are trying to reschedule the splash pad portion and will keep you posted once a date has been confimed. 
Thank you for your understanding,

The Kindergarten Team

JUNE DATES TO REMEMBER

Bonjour les Parents! 

June has arrived and we have already begun taking advantage of the nice weather by increasing our outdoor play.  When possible, we now remain outside when the students arrive, we then go outside during our regular play time at 11:15 and then we try to play outside again at end of day. 

Following is a reminder of a few important dates in June:

Monday, June 8th:  A Police officer will visit and present to all Kindergarten classes.

Tuesday, June 9th:  Field trip to the public library and the Richcraft splashpad and park.

Week of June 22nd:  We will Celebrate our students with summer birthdays.

Wednesday, June 24th:  Report cards go home.

Thursday, June 25th:  Last day of school for the students

We look forward to a great month!!

Gymnastics Day tomorrow!

Tomorrow the kindergarten students will be participating in a gymnastics workshop here at the school, hosted by Starr Gymnastics. Please make sure your child is dressed in comfortable clothing that they will be able to move freely in, and that they have appropriate footwear (running shoes are best - no sandals or crocs, please)!

Looking forward to a fun-filled day!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We are looking for volunteers to make play dough for our Welcome to Kindergarten evening next Tuesday.  If you are interested, please send it to school no later than this Friday, May 22.  Any and all colours needed.

Save the date!!  We will be going on a field trip to the public library, then for a picnic and splash pad fun at Richcraft on Tuesday, June 9th.  We will be looking for volunteers, permission forms and details to follow very soon.

Book Fair details (and some other info too)!

Yesterday, your child had a chance to preview the Book Fair. With an adult's help, they looked through the books, and came home with a "wish list". Please note that you are not under any obligation to purchase anything - if you would like them to purchase any items off of their wish list, we will be able to purchase tomorrow (Thursday). Please send in the money along with a note listing the items your child wishes to purchase.

**Please note: This year, due to circumstances beyond the school's control, we did NOT receive a debit machine for purchases at the Book Fair. Unfortunately, parents will not be able to purchase items using debit (our apologies). The Book Fair is still able to accept cash, cheque, and credit cards. It will also be open on Friday morning during our Muffin Breakfast if you would like to browse during that time.

Some upcoming reminders for this week:

• Tomorrow (Thursday) students are invited to dress as their favourite book character or math symbol.
• Friday will be Red and White Day

As we move into the warmer weather, students might be tempted to wear sandals, flip flops, and/or crocs to school. Please remind them that for safety reasons, we cannot permit them to play on the play structure with any footwear other than running shoes.

Sunscreen - please apply to your child before school. Teachers cannot apply sunscreen to students at school.
