Dear Parents,

Well the countdown is definitely on!!  The next couple of weeks are full of many events and activities so please be sure to read below for all the details.

1. Fun Lunch is on Wednesday June 18 – if you would like your child to participate, please ensure you place your order on Healthy Hunger before midnight tonight (Friday June 13).  Please note that T/Th Kindie students should NOT order this meal.
2. Please check your child’s backpack for special items!   For all of those parents, and family members that took the time to come to the school and volunteer on a fieldtrip, we have sent home a special thank you gift.  If we have accidently missed you, please email adtaylor@cbe.ab.ca to let me know what fieldtrip you volunteered for and I will send a gift home next week.
3. YEARBOOKS are here!  Families who have ordered the yearbook should find it in your child’s backpack on Friday June 13.  We do have a few extras due to some families double ordering by mistake.  If you did not order a book and would now like one, please send in $26 CASH on Monday and we will get a yearbook to your child.  This is a first come -first serve offer and there is a very limited number of books available.   
4. Monday June 16 is the LAST formal uniform day! Students are welcome to wear casual clothes for the remainder of the school year starting on June 17.
5. Monday is the Grade 3 Farewell assembly and parents are invited to attend.  It is important that all visitors arrive to the school and are seated BEFORE 12:45 as the Grade 3 students will be doing a processional to enter.   Grade 1 choir will also be performing at this event.
6. School Council will be IN-PERSON on Tuesday June 17 in the School Learning Commons at 6:30 pm.  Babysitting will be provided and all are welcome to attend.  School Council Executive members – please plan to be at the school at 6pm for our first meeting as a new executive.
7. Reminder that all Library and home reading books should have already been returned to the school.  If you forgot, please ensure they are returned on Monday to avoid book fines being added to your school account.
8. Used Uniform Sale – we are looking for gently used uniform items that your child may have outgrown this year.  If you have items (tartan dress, TLC crested golf shirts, TLC green cardigan/vest or tartan ties) that you would like to donate to the sale, please wash them and send them to the school by Friday June 20.  All funds raised go towards fieldtrip costs, special events in the school, ice cream social, etc. as sponsored by School council.  The sale will be on Monday June 23 at 2:15- 3:00 (or until sold out) in the school learning commons.  This is a CASH only event and on a first come – first serve basis.   We are looking for a couple of parent volunteers to help with this event.  If you are able to help out and be at the school by 2:00 PM, please email our School Council Chair by Friday June 20 at lrdchair@gmail.com to confirm you are able to volunteer.   Perks to volunteering: you get to shop FIRST!
9. Sports Day is on Friday June 20.  Please check your child’s Google Classroom for details as there may be certain colors they should be wearing for their teams!  Please note that both M/W and T/Th Kindergarten students should be attending this event.
10. As part of Sport’s Day, we have some staff members who are participating in the Bucket Challenge with funds raised going to Make a Wish Foundation.  If your child would like the opportunity to be entered into the draw and picked to dump a bucket of water on a staff member, please send in your donation.  Every $2 gets their name entered into the draw and we will be collecting funds until Thursday, June 19.
11. Bussing registration is due on June 22 for the 2025-26 school year.  Please be sure to register using your MyCBE account to ensure transportation has the most accurate information to create bus routes and stops over the summer break.
12. Report Cards will be available ONLINE starting on June 25.  Please PRINT your report card immediately as they are only accessible for 2 weeks online.
13. LAST DAY OF SCHOOL is on Thursday June 26 and it is a half day!  Students will be dismissed at noon (like Fridays) so please be sure to mark your calendar so you remember to pick them up either at school or their bus stops early.
14. Leaving early?  If you are planning on leaving before June 26, please be sure to let your child’s teacher know as we need to ensure all items are sent home with your child.  Any unclaimed items will be disposed of on June 27 at 10am. Please remind your children to check the lost and found.

I know this is a lot of information but it is important that you are in the loop as we close off this amazing year.   Hope you have a great weekend and to all the Fathers in your lives – HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!

Sincerely,

Andrea Taylor – Principal @ Le Roi Daniels
