Buenos dias/Bonjour:

Happy New Year to all students families and staff!  It's  another bone-chilling day today!  Although Canadians are tough and we can handle it, the temperatures do have an impact on the school.  The CBE guideline for allowing students to go outside is - 20C with the wind chill.  We have been colder than that several times already this year and so we have to keep students inside before school, at recess and at lunch.  Please ensure that your children are dressed warmly with winter coats, snow pants, mittens, scarves and toques.

Roads are also often a problem, especially on mornings like this morning when it has snowed.  We would ask parents that drive their students to allow for poor road conditions and traffic so that students arrive at school on time.  Our busses are also affected by cold weather and road conditions.  Again, please ensure that your children are dressed warmly when they are on the bus in case there are problems with the bus.

Kindergarten/Grade 1  Registration 

Just a reminder to families that Kindergarten/Grade 1 registration starts this morning at Westgate for French Immersion and at Rosscarrock for Spanish Bilingual.  We were pleased to see large numbers of parents turn out for our Kindergarten/Grade 1 Information Night last week.  We welcome all of our new and current families to our school communities and look forward to working with you!

Have a great day everyone,

Scott Fehr
