Bicycles, Scooters and
Skateboards
The use of bicycles, scooters and skateboards on
school property is not allowed for safety reasons.
If students use any of these items to get to school,
they should walk or carry them onto school
property. Bikes are to be left at the bike racks and
scooters or skateboards are to be stored in the
student’s locker. We cannot be responsible for the
security of these items.
If you have a concern, please discourage your
child from taking his/her bike to school. Thank you
for your co-operation in this matter.
Also, it is the law in Ontario for all children aged 18
and under to wear a helmet when travelling on any
public road. Please discuss with your child the
importance of wearing a helmet to prevent head
injuries and obey the law.
EQAO Testing
Every year students in Grades 3 and 6 across the
province participate in assessments that are
developed by the Education Quality and
Accountability Office. Students complete a set of
test booklets that allow them to show what they
have learned in reading, writing and math. The
testing will take place between May 30th and June
3rd and should take approximately 6 hours spread
out over those days. Parents of students in
Grades 3 and 6 will receive more specific
information in the near future from their child’s
teacher.
What to wear?
The hot weather will hopefully be here soon, so it is
time to review what is appropriate dress for school.
Shorts of an acceptable length are fine. A good
way to determine the appropriate length is to have
your child stand with their arms at their sides. The
shorts should meet or exceed the finger-tip. Shirts
must cover the midriff – no exposed skin between
the shirt and the shorts. A good test for this is to
have your child reach towards the sky. A t-shirt
that is long enough will not expose the midriff.
Sleeveless shirts or tank tops are allowed. No tops
with “spaghetti straps”.
Sunscreen is essential. Now that we know the skin
damage that sun can cause, we encourage
students to cover up, wear a wide-brimmed hat,
and apply liberal amounts of sunscreen. Being
Sun Safe is key to having a great summer!
Swim to Survive
The grade 4 classes are enjoying being a part of
the Swim to Survive program. The program
consists of in-class lessons on water safety (ice
safety, boating safety and using a lifejacket) and
swimming lessons in the pool. The students are
trying to achieve the Swim to Survive standard of
being able to roll into the water, tread water for one
minute and then swim fifty metres. Mme
Deschenes and Mme Mitchell’s grade 4’s are
having fun with their classmates while participating
in this program which will end on June 15th. Don’t
forget your swim gear every Wednesday (Mme
Mitchell) and Thursday (Mme Deschenes).
