Sept 12 updates

Dear Parents,

I would like to first of all thank you for your amazing generosity for the Terry Fox Run!  We were able to raise just over $1000!  I would also like to say a special thank you to our School Council who provided water and fruit leather to each student for the Terry Fox Run.

Couple of reminders for you so please read the updates below:

1. PHOTO DAY is on Monday!  Please ensure your child is in their formal uniform on Monday for photos. This includes navy dress pants (not leggings, jeggings, or sweatpants) OR Tartan dress with white dress shirt, long sleeve green cardigan, a tie if wearing the pants and black shoes.  Tuesday/Thursday Kindie students will have their photos done on Tuesday.
2. Thank you so much to everyone who has returned their package of forms!  We are still missing over 300 online demographic forms to be confirmed and submitted online in your CBE account.  Please ensure you have updated that information this weekend so we can complete our opening procedures as a school.  We were the first school to complete it last year and we would like to do it again this year! 😊
3. School Council is on Tuesday, September 16 at 6PM in the school Learning Commons.  It is a great opportunity to come and hear what is happening in the school and share your thoughts and suggestions.  There will be snacks and coffee provided as well as onsite babysitting.
4. School Council is also looking for a Key Communicator position to be filled.  If you would like to participate in School Council and have an active role, please contact School Council chairs at lrdchair@gmail.com to find out more information or come out our meeting on Tuesday to hear all about it.
5. MISSING ITEMS – we still have many students who do not have their inside shoes at school.  These are the running shoes that remain at school (are not worn to and from home) and they should have already been brought to school.  If your child does not have their running shoes and/or black dress shoes that remain at school, please ensure they are brought to school for Monday as they are required to ensure we have dry, clean shoes in the school building.  There are also many students who have not yet brought in their personal headphones.  Please ensure you have sent your child’s personal headphones (labelled) in a zip lock bag for Monday as many classes have already started using the computers and iPads for special projects.
6. CASINO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!  As mentioned last week, we have our Casino event coming in October and we cannot do it without your help!  We have only filled ¼ of the required positions.  Please check your calendar, click the link below and sign up to be a volunteer to help your child and the school.  No experience needed, police clearance not needed, snacks and beverages provided – please volunteer!!! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084FA5A72FABF5CE9-57857911-casino?useFullSite=true#/

Thank you so much for helping us make LRD great and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Sincerely,

Andrea Taylor – Principal @ Le Roi Daniels School
