A Few Reminders

Hello Parents! 

Just a quick reminder that photo retakes are on Thursday October 24th. Please let us know if you would like your child to have their picture taken again. Also Friday is a 1/2 day PD day. This means you will need to make arrangements to pick up your child at 11:30. Please let us know if it it will be someone different picking your child up that day. We will be practicing a lockdown drill Monday morning, just so you are aware.  

Volunteers: If you, a grandparent or another important person in your child's life would like to come and volunteer in our classroom please let us know. We would love to have some help on a weekly basis for whatever time you are able to contribute...an hour, a morning or even a whole day! Whatever time you are available for would be much appreciated. Please let us know if you are interested as we would like to have volunteers start at the beginning of November (or even a bit earlier if possible). You will need to provide a police record check (obtained at the local police station) and fill out a volunteer form (provided by us).  

Photos: If you haven't already done so, please select a family photo or a photo of something special to your child to send to school to share with the class. For the month of October Credit Meadows is focusing on "Sharing out lives/stories" as part of a social justice initiative. We are using these pictures as a starting point for the students to talk about their lives with each other.

Halloween -We will be celebrating Halloween at school on October 31st. We encourage anyone who wants to, to come to school in costume. We will be participating in the annual school carnival as well as a costume parade. We ask that you do not send your child with a mask, and that they come ready with their costume on as we will not be able to apply makeup etc. Keep in mind that students will likely be wearing their costumes inside and outside and it may get dirty, damaged etc. Please send your child with an extra change of clothes that day in case they tire of wearing their costume and would prefer to change. Thank you to those parents who signed up to bring snacks for that day to help us celebrate! 

Toys: A quick reminder that we are encouraging students to leave home toys at home and enjoy the things we have at school while they are here.
