Welcome to the Principal’s Corner

As you are aware, our school is collecting donations for the foodbank. This is our annual Pi Day contest. See the image below for contest rules. There is still time to send in donations. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to this community project. It is much appreciated!

We were excited to have some outdoor recess time on Friday! It was a long week of indoor recesses prior to that and students and staff were thrilled to be outside in the milder weather. The sunny day brought smiles to many faces.

REMINDER: Turn your clocks ahead for the time change (Sunday, March 10). Also, Monday is a PD day and there is no school for students. We look forward to seeing everyone back in school on Tuesday, March 12.

Have a fabulous weekend!

– Susanne Stroud, Principal & Kathy Kloschinsky, Assistant Principal

PARENT INFORMATION

Extracurricular Activities

BASKETBALL NOTES

Our Junior High basketball teams have all finished their seasons. We will be having a fun celebration the last week of March. There will be a pep rally on March 19 followed by a wrap up event for all 4 teams on March 20. The elementary basketball teams will have a team celebration in April.

FLOOR HOCKEY HIGHLIGHTS

Floor Hockey teams are all doing practices. The Grade 3/4 girls played in a tournament at Robina Baker this past weekend and at last report were enjoying themselves and having lots of fun! Thank you to all the staff who are volunteering to coach our floor hockey teams. Your time is greatly appreciated!

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 no extracurricular signups at this time. Floor Hockey teams have all started practicing and each coach will communicate the practice schedule with parents.

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.
