September 20/19

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for checking your child's classroom blog for the latest updates/information.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Our Terry Fox Run is fast approaching.  Please complete the permission for walking field trips by Tuesday if you would like your child to participate.  Students who have not been given permission will be walking around the fields at Fairview instead.  To give your child permission, please open the parent portal, click on the blue tab at the top that says 'Consent' (it will have a number in it, this is how many areas you need to complete).  You will need to scroll through each form and click on the bottom as guided to give your permission.  Thank you! Families who are new to the school received a linking letter which will activate this account.  If you have any difficulty, please call Korri or Karen in the office at
604 465 9331
*We are looking for volunteers for this event, please contact Mrs. Boyes at Celeste_Boyes@sd42.ca if you would like to help at a spot on the course or me at Amanda_Roberts@sd42.ca if you would like to run/walk with your child. The more the merrier!
*Our goal is to raise $2000 for the Terry Fox Foundation, you can also donate online
*Please sign and return the blue information form (after checking that the information is accurate) that was sent home from the office.  There is a contest to see which class returns their forms first.
*Monday is a professional day, no school for students
*Tuesday, September 24th is Individual Picture Day
*Please send in comfort kits, earbuds, Entertainment books (or the money collected from selling them) and inside shoes if you have not already done so
*Just a reminder to please ensure that your child is dressed for the weather every day.  We have West Coast recess/lunch in our district so students will go outside the majority of the time (rain or shine).  Also, we have 'Forest Fun' on Thursdays and will, again be going outside even if it is raining
*I encourage everyone to send in a spare set of clothes to be kept at school in case an accident does occur while your child is at school so they can be comfortable for the remainder of the day
*Thank you to Ms. Weber for agreeing to organize our Scholastic orders each month.  This month's order is due September 25th
*We have started planners/home reading.  There was a letter included in the bag when the first book came home explaining our program.  Please read with your child nightly and sign the planner.
*Thank you for sending your information sheets, the information you gave helps me begin to know your children.  I appreciated the thoughtful details you included.  Also, thank you to parents who have offered to volunteer this year
*Div. 9 & 10 have booked  3 skating field trips and a trip to visit Fort Langley.  Please mark your calendars - Thursday, Oct. 24th, Thursday, Dec. 19th, and Thursday March 5th - all in the afternoon.  Also we have booked Fort Langley on Thursday, Nov. 14th in the morning.  We will need parent drivers for all of these.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
