With darker mornings upon us, we ask everyone driving around our school to be especially alert for students walking to school or being dropped off. Please slow down, watch carefully for pedestrians, and help us keep our school community safe.
To reinforce the importance of visibility, next week Connect will provide students with reflective stickers to bring home. Families can decide whether to add these to backpacks or clothing to help students be more visible during their journeys to and from school.
Student-led clubs are up and running at Connect! Several times throughout the year, students have the opportunity to find a teacher or staff member to support them in leading a club based on a shared interest.
Clubs typically take place at lunch and bring students of different ages together to connect, explore interests, and build community. Our morning announcements share which clubs are running each day, and on any given day, there are several opportunities for students to get involved.
We also recognize the value of outdoor recess. Many students prefer spending that time outside with friends, enjoying the physical and social benefits of being outdoors. As an outdoor-focused school, all students are expected to go outside for recess unless they are participating in a supervised club or activity.
Human Sexuality and Polar Bear Club permission forms have now been shared with families.
Please log in to PowerSchool to review and respond to these forms. A reminder that Human Sexuality programming requires parents to opt in.
Welcome back to our Grade 9.1 and 9.2 students, who enjoyed an overnight experience at Camp Connect!
Thank you to the parent volunteers and staff who made this experience possible. We appreciate the time, energy, and care involved in supporting our students at camp.
Thank you to the parents who joined us for Parent Coffee on Friday morning. We appreciate your interest, involvement, and the opportunity to connect with families in our school community.
Our next Parent Coffee will take place on Friday, December 4, from 8:30–9:30 a.m. in the Learning Commons. We hope to see you there!
We are excited to once again be working with Purdy’s Chocolate for our holiday season. Not only will you complement the day, but 30% of your order will come back to Parent Council and support school activities.
Corporate Gifts?? If you have an office party or corporate event, you can place a separate corporate order (in addition to your personal order or just on its own). It can be delivered to your home or work for a deliciously sweet party addition. Please contact us if you need your order delivered before the school pickup date which will be Nov 25 (note: this is for corporate orders only).
Purdy’s is a Canadian owned and operated here in Canada, using sustainable cocoa and time-honoured traditions and recipes passed down for over a century.
Please contact School Council and we will assist you with your order. You can reach us at [email protected].
Personal orders can be placed starting Nov. 1 – stay tuned for the website details.
