Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful week!
A few housekeeping updates...
1. As you may have noticed... it snowed! Students will be going out for recess twice a day (unless the windchill is beyond the acceptable limit in YRDSB). Morning recess is 20 minutes outdoors and lunch recess is 40 minutes outdoors. Students should be dressing appropriately for the weather. That means winter boots, hats, scarves, mittens, winter jackets, and snow pants. Students are not permitted to call home for dry pants so snow pants will be essential once there is more snow.
2. Separate shoes/boots for indoor and outdoor are a MUST. All students should have two pairs of shoes. One pair is for recess and travelling to and from school. Those shoes should not be brought into the classrooms or the gym. The second pair of shoes should be kept at school and should be appropriate for the classroom and for gym class. Students cannot participate in gym class wearing boots, sandals, flip flops, etc. As well, students outdoor shoes track dirt, mud, and water into the classroom making the floor dirty and preventing us from using it as a clean learning space.
3. The EDSBY sign up for Student Led Conferences is available online. Remember, up to 4 families can sign up for EACH time slot, as students will be leading you in the conference.
Keep warm and have a wonderful weekend!
