First day of Kindergarten

Mrs. Palha-S.E.A

Mrs. Olaybal

Welcome to Kindergarten. It was a pleasure to meet you and your children today- they are so full of energy and enthusiasm! There were a few questions that came up today-I will try to answer them below.

*For tomorrow, Thursday and Friday, dismissal is at 12 noon.

*On Friday, the Kindergartens will be attending the school Mass @ 9am and will be sitting with their Grade 5/6 buddies. We will be introducing them to their buddies on Thursday.  The first Friday of each month is a Food Bank Mass and food donations will be collected by the St. Vincent de Paul group. Please send in one non-perishable item that will be brought up during that Mass.

*Reminder to label all clothing items that your child will be using. We do have a Mabel's Labels fundraising page at http://www.cce.mabelslabels.com/

*In order sign up to 'Follow By Email', please scroll all the way to the bottom of my blog page and enter your email. Whenever I update my blog, you will receive an email notification.

*Shoes: In our parent handbook (www.ccsunited.ca), there are the specific details for shoes and it does say student need to have‘solid black shoes includes black running shoes.’ For gym, it states to have ‘plain non-marking soles’ for running shoes.

*If it is raining heavily in the mornings, students are allowed to enter the school (through the main doors) and come in and wait quietly in our classroom. Staff is at morning prayer from 830-845am.

*We will be having our first P.E. class with Mr. Klaponski tomorrow.

*Hot lunch forms are due this Friday, Sept 6th. They can be found here

*Upcoming school event: Meet the Staff BBQ on Tues, Sept 10th evening

Please do not hesitate to email me at golaybal@ccsunited.ca if you have any other questions...see you tomorrow!

Mrs. Olaybal

Welcome to Kindergarten

Hello! You should have received a letter in the mail about the first day, first week of school and other details. If not, the office might have the wrong mailing address so please check with them. 

*First day of school is an Open House for Kindergartens only. You may come into the classroom with your child, in full uniform, anytime between 8:50am - 11:00am and plan to stay for about 30 minutes. It will be a great time for your child to get familiar with the classroom as well as ask any questions of me or Mrs. Palha, the assistant in our class. 

If you are waiting for an item from the uniform company, please send your child in something that is close to the uniform colours. Their red sweaters need to come to school each day (can be kept in their backpack) to wear for assemblies, Mass and other special events. 

*Our Kindergarten line up will be marked on the cement outside the primary doors. We ask that parents and families say good-bye to their child outside while in the line up - this will ease the transition of coming into school for the first time. Mrs. Palha and I will be there to help the students with hanging up their jackets, backpacks and anything else they need and we do not begin until all of the students are seated on the carpet together. If you do need to come into the school, please sign in at the office and pick up a visitor's tag. 

*If you would like to volunteer in our classroom, there is a sign up sheet in the hallway outside our classroom for September through December.  Volunteers can sign up Monday through Friday for the afternoons only (1-3pm) as this allows us to develop our morning routines well. 

*I also have items that can be done at home, such as making playdough or cutting out shapes, that can still count towards your volunteer hours.  

*Allergy Alert: We have a couple students who have severe allergies to nuts and fish so please refrain from bringing any food, for snack or lunch, that contain these ingredients. I will be explaining to the children that in order to keep everyone safe, we should not share/trade food items.

*Wednesday to Friday this week is from 8:50 until noon. For pick up, please identify yourself to me and let me know who you are picking up-it will take me some time to remember everyone's faces. If there is someone else picking your child up for a day, please send a note in the blue folder about this change. 
  
*Things to bring in by Friday, September 6th
-gym shoes
-water bottle 
-family photo
-favourite stuffie
-blanket/towel for quiet time
-extra pair of socks, red shorts, underwear in a ziplock bag
 
If you have any questions, please email me at golaybal@ccsusnited.ca

See you on Tuesday!


 

Mabel's Labels School Fundraiser

Dear Parents,

Just in time for next school year we will be restarting our Mabel's Labels fundraiser. Mabel's Labels are durable labels that stay on even when put in the dishwasher, washer and dryer. Please order from this special website dedicated to our school fundraising efforts, www.cce.mabelslabels.com

Thank you!

Countdown to the first day of Kindergarten!

Merci!

A big thank you to all the parent drivers/supervisors, we couldn't have done it without you. The students tapped their toes along with the beat of Grand Derangement's lively and uplifting beats! One of the highlights was finding the self-portraits that we created for the Art Walk, the face painting area and the Mehndi station.
