Some Friendly Reminders...
GETTING EXCITED!!!!!!!!! On Thursday each student will be taking home their DFS (Deileman Fundraising Solutions) package. This is our 1st (of 2) major fundraisers for the coming year. Please take the time to fully read the information so that your family will know how they can best be involved! This fundraiser will take place from October 25th through November 9th.
- Students who are bringing scooters and skateboards to school...they should not be used on school property and that extra caution needs to be used when going up and down the stairs with these items, especially scooters as they can easily get in the way of others and be a tripping hazard. Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
- During Indoor recess students are expected to find a place to settle/sit - students can play board games, do puzzles, talk with friends, read, etc...students are not allowed to be running around, no throwing objects and no balls are allowed. Please remember that this is indoor time and activities must be settled and safe.
- All classrooms have now been equipped with their own recess equipment in their blue bags. For this reason equipment will no longer be available for sign-out from the office so students are not to come down to the office anymore to sign out equipment. Classes are encouraged to develop their own sign out system for their equipment.

Quick Survey Results
THANK YOU ,from your school council executive, for your good response to our Quick Survey that we sent out a couple of weeks ago concerning council meetings and when is the best overall time for them to be held. We really appreciated those who sent back their forms indicating that they are either not interested or are just unable due to busy life schedules. We realise that this is the case for the majority of our parent community and we just really appreciate what you are able to do in the time that best suits you.
For those who did respond with an interest in being part of the school council. The majority indicated that Monday's at 3:15 seem to work best for the most people. So, for the coming year our council meetings will continue to happen on the 1st Monday of each month from 3:15 - 5:15 p.m., with child care provided in the gym with 3 very capable grade 8 girls.
Always remember, your voice matters and you can always connect with your school council executive through our email addresses found on your monthly calenders or on the website. You are always able to leave a message for us at 519-941-7487 ext. 500. and we will return your call as soon as possible. We really believe we are part of a great school community and it's all of us together that makes it work so well!
