Dear Families,
An email to sign up for learning conferences went out to families on Friday, November 15, 20224. If you are unable to find the email link – please go into your MyCBE Account and choose – Book and Manage Meeting Times. Bookings are open until Friday November 29 at 9:00 am. If you would like an interpreter for your child’s conference, please contact your child’s teacher to request one.
Students go outside daily in snowy weather unless it is –20C or colder. Please ensure your child has a pair of boots and winter clothing. If your child has lost clothing, please check the lost and found. It will be cleaned out mid-December with items being sent to charity,
Traffic in the Morning in Winter Conditions
Compounded by snowy conditions, traffic congestion in the morning at the front of the school in the bus zone has been at times, very unsafe. Reminders about traffic safety:
- Teach your child(ren) to use the crosswalk
- Do not unload students in the parking lot or in the bus zone. In the winter, our buses may arrive as late as 9:15 am, please keep this area clear.
- Never make a U-Turn in a school zone.
Seeds of S.P.I.C.E Drop off & Pick up
- Parents with children in the Seeds of SPICE before and after school program are welcome to drop off and pick up in the parking before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm
If parents are interested in volunteering to help with traffic safety by wearing a safety vest at the crosswalk and joining the administration team, we would love to have the extra support. Please just send us an email or give us a call.
