Covid 19 Symptoms

Don't take the chance of passing COVID-19 on. Stay home if ill even if symptoms mild & don't wait to get tested. COVID-19 spreads easily. Follow public health orders & public health advice. Call 911 in emergencies or HealthLine 811 for advice and/or to arrange COVID-19 testing. If your children have any symptoms, please keep them home until all symptoms have been gone for 48 hours. Please keep our school and community safe.

Playground Clean up Work Bee

We are looking for some parent volunteers willing to help clean up our playground on Sunday, May 16. We cannot have more than 10 people at a time due to the health regulations so we have created a sign up. From 11:00 am-12:00 pm we are looking for 10 volunteers to clean up the leaves, garbage and debris from all around our school and playground; a leaf blower, work or garden gloves, and a claw or spike to pick up trash would be great tools to bring and, of course, wear a mask!
