Welcome to the Principal’s Corner
The PowerSchool Parent Portal is now closed for viewing assignments and marks. Teachers are busy finalizing Term 1 marks and comments and the Portal will open again on February 2 for viewing. We will share details later this month on how you can view your child’s progress in PowerSchool. We should have some milder temperatures this week, but there will be more snow. We will be going outside for recess, so please send your child with appropriate gear. Thanks so much!

BASKETBALL NOTES
Congratulations to our Mini Boys Basketball team! They won the BGSD Division tournament for their level. The final game was very exciting and was very close until the last few minutes where they pulled a little bit ahead. The final score was 27-20. We are so proud of each and every one of the players!
We would like to send out an extra special THANK YOU to all who helped to volunteer for our tournament! There were lots of student scorekeepers, concession helpers, and general helpers. We also had some volunteer refs in addition to the paid refs and we are so grateful for their generosity. We could not have run such a great tournament without all the extra sets of hands.
Come out and cheer on our mini girls basketball team next weekend!
EXTRA-CURRICULAR REMINDERS
In an effort to enhance communication around extracurricular opportunities, we have created a digital sign up for all activities as they become available. This google form is required for students to participate and to help us with our planning. Once practices begin, parents will fill out the required permission forms in PowerSchool and pay the applicable fee.
If your child is interested in participating in any extracurricular activities, please use the sign-up forms that will be posted in this section. You can access each form by clicking on the images below.
** There are currently no activity sign-ups.
SPIRIT WEAR STORE
As you know, we were excited to launch the opening of our new online school spirit wear store with Lil’ Buckeroo Designs. Thank you to everyone who purchased some new Duck Gear.
The store is still open and you have an option to ship to your home or do a pick up in the shop in New Sarepta. Deliveries to the school only happen when we do a school wide campaign like we just completed prior to Dec. 10. We will let you know when new items are added and when we plan to do another school wide order. Don’t miss out on your chance to get some new spirit wear. You can visit our store by clicking on this LINK. Goooo Ducks!

HOT LUNCH
Click on the image above to order hot lunch.
The Hot Lunch Program is up and running. It runs from October to June.
Menus will be loaded into the system in groups: October to Christmas break, January to Spring break and April to the end of the school year.
The Hot Lunch online order system requires a small amount of setup time at the beginning as you must register each child you have attending our school prior to ordering.
In order for vendors to fulfill our Hot Lunch orders, we need to close ordering from 10 – 14 days in advance, therefore, please ensure that you place your Hot Lunch order before each deadline. The deadline is noted on each vendor menu.
