Week of January 20-24 2025
Welcome back to winter! Please make sure you send your child to school with a winter coat, Touque and gloves or mitts. We will go outside for lunch as long as it is above –20 degrees with the chill. So, everyone needs to be prepared.
With the cold comes ice and snow. Drivers, please drive slowly during pick up and drop off, and do not let your children out in the middle of the street. Pedestrians, please walk on the sidewalk and cross at the crosswalk. Do not walk down the road.
