Welcome Back to School!
We are looking forward to the start of a new school year. School begins at 9:10 am on Tuesday, September 4. Ms. McCullough and Mrs. Taylor will be outside Door 1 to meet the children. The schoolyard is supervised 15 minutes before the bell.
What to Bring
- backpack that can easily fit a picture book and their lunch kit
- lunch kit with a healthy lunch and a few snacks
- indoor running shoes
- water bottle
- if applicable, any medication that they require along with completed forms.

Many parents find it helpful to label their child's personal belongings to help get them back if they get lost.
School Day
The school day includes a lunch and afternoon recess. Grade 1 students are often excited to have 2 recesses! If your child is a bit nervous about finding someone to play with, reassure them that there are lots of children who will be looking for a friend to play with and that we are more than happy to help them find a buddy. We also have our school 'buddy bench' where students can sit to signal that you are looking for a playmate!
Going back to school can be very tiring for young children. It is normal for children to have a transition time at the beginning of the year where they may be a bit cranky or tired at the end of the day. Getting a good night sleep will be helpful for them in the transition, especially the Grade 1 students.
Dismissal and Pick Up
We will be dismissing children at 3:50 from door 1. If you are picking up your child you can wait outside door 1 in an area where your child can see you.
If your child takes the bus, know your bus information and review it with your child. The stops and bus information will likely be different from last year.
