Allergy Reminder - Halloween Treats in Lunch Bags

Halloween treats are best eaten at home, however if you send along a little treat in your child’s lunch bag this week, please ensure it does not contain any peanut butter, nuts, peanuts, etc.  Examples: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, O’Henry Bars, etc…

• bananas (products containing bananas are fine such as smoothies and baked goods)

• tree nuts (e.g. hazelnuts), peanuts, peanut butter, or any product known to contain nuts/peanuts or peanut oil.  WOW Butter, Nutella (or similar no name or store brand Hazelnut spreads) are also included in this list.

• Non Food Allergies:  latex (balloons, gloves, etc) and scented products (body sprays, perfumes/ colognes, etc)

School Lunch Association

As a reminder, when the hot lunch ordering for December opens on Tuesday, November 10, there is a new method for ordering now. If you have any issues, please reach out to the School Lunch Association.

Dressing for the Weather

It’s that time of year again when the weather is starting to get colder. It is important to have your children dressed appropriately for the weather. All grades go outside as part of the play-based curriculum. They also go outside most days at lunchtime as well. In addition to being dressed for outside we also encourage all families to send along an extra change of clothes for your child. This can be kept at school until it is required.

Outside Clothing:

- Warm Coat, 

- Winter Hat

- Mittens or Gloves

- Snow pants (maybe not required yet, but we could see snow any day now)

- Winter Boots (or rain boots on those wet, muddy days until it snows)

Change of Clothes:

- Extra Pants

- Extra Tshirt and Sweatshirt

- Extra Underwear

- Extra Socks

- Inside Footwear

Lost and Found

Our lost and found is still overflowing.  Please remind your child to check for any missing items. You are also welcome to drop by to check it out as well.  The book fair next Saturday is a great opportunity.

eNLightenED

We encourage families to explore  eNLightenED, an interactive platform designed to keep you informed about your child's daily lessons. View the latest Newfoundland and Labrador K-12 curriculum standards and related resources all in one place.
