Holiday Cookies

We are excited to announce that we will be selling delicious Christmas Cookies on a Stick from the Main Street Bakery. Students can order snowman cookies or Christmas tree cookies for $1.50 each. Each cookie will be individually wrapped. Students may purchase multiple cookies. These cookies make great gifts for family and friends. Orders will be taken through School-Day until Wednesday, December 9 and the cookies will be delivered on Friday, December 11.

Indoor Shoes

Thank you to the families who have already sent in a pair of indoor shoes. If you haven’t done so yet, please send a pair of running shoes with your child this week. Proper shoes are required for gym class and indoor shoes keep the classrooms and school clean.

Police Checks for Volunteers

To align with the new board policy, volunteers at the school will require a Police Vulnerable Sector Check. We are asking that parents and family members who are interesting in volunteering in the school or on field trips have this check completed. Last Wednesday, a letter was sent home with each student that will allow for volunteers to receive this check at the reduced rate of $10. Once you receive your Police Vulnerable Sector Check, please send it to the office. If you have any questions or concerns, please email andrea_michelutti@wrdsb.on.ca or call the school at 519-696-2296.
