Monday, October 26 marks the first day of our Student Buddies program, bringing older and younger students together to build relationships, learn from one another, and strengthen our school community. These mixed-age experiences create meaningful opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and a greater sense of belonging at Connect.
As temperatures begin to drop, please ensure students come to school prepared for outdoor conditions. Take a moment to check that winter jackets, snow pants, boots, hats, and mittens still fit and are appropriate for colder weather.
If your family needs support purchasing winter clothing or outdoor gear, please contact Laurie Kangas ([email protected]). We are happy to help ensure all students can participate comfortably in outdoor activities.
The following information will be shared with families by the end of the month:
Polar Bear Club Permission Forms — Families will receive information and permission forms for students wishing to go outside when temperatures are between −20°C and −25°C (students must be dressed appropriately for the weather).
Grade 6 Provincial Achievement Test Results — Results from last year’s provincial achievement tests will be emailed directly to Grade 7 families.
Human Sexuality Permission Forms — Information and permission forms will be distributed to families.
A huge thank you to all the students and families who brought in bottles during Parent/Teacher Conferences!
Congratulations to Ms. Rattai’s Class 4.1, which collected the most bottles and won the class pizza party! Mr. Adams’ Class 4.2 came in a very close second.
Our next bottle drive will take place January 7–8, 2027.

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.
