Parents and Guardians on School Property
Just a reminder, parents and guardians are not to be on school property during school hours unless you are volunteering at the school.
If you need to pick up your student, please make sure to check in to the office and we will contact your student.
We ask afternoon kindergarten families to make sure you are off the playground by 11:35am and standing close to the kindergarten doors.
Orange Shirt Day
During the week of September 23-26, students will spend time reflecting on the meaning of Orange Shirt Day.
On Monday September 23, staff and students are encouraged to wear their Orange Shirts.
The week will begin with a whole school assembly on Monday, September 23 where students will hear a story about the history of Orange Shirt Day.
Classroom activities throughout the week will include age-appropriate activities related to Indigenous ways of knowing and cultural significance.
Monday, September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. All CBE schools will be closed.
Terry Fox Run
MTS Terry Fox run will take place on Wednesday, September 25 at 9:00 am.
If students can, we are asking them to bring Toonies for Terry starting on Monday September 9. Our fundraising goal is $1200, which is approximately a toonie for every student and staff member in the school.
If we reach our goal, Mr. V. has agreed to wear a tutu for a day!

Conferences
Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place in person at the school on Thursday, September 26 from 4-8pm and Friday, September 27 from 8:00am to 12:00pm
Parents can book conference times through their MyCBE account. Conference booking opens on Saturday, September 21 at 8am and closes on Thursday, September 26 at 2pm. If parents require support with booking, they can call the office.
Kindergarten conferences will be held at the times above as well as Thursday, September 26 from 8am-12pm. There are no kindergarten classes on either Thursday the 26 or Friday the 27. There is no school for students in grades 1-4 on Friday, September 27 due to conferences.
These conferences are the opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and to provide teachers with information about your child that is important. Teachers will inform you on how your child is adapting to and settling into the new school year but, due to the minimal amount of time spent in school thus far, will not provide information on student learning or achievement.
