At home learning supports

We have had several inquiries from families asking for full time at home learning because they are choosing not to send their children to school. It is important to note that See Saw and Google classroom are in place to support in-person learning. Students are expected to come to school unless they are ill or are required to self-isolate. See Saw and Google Classroom are not for full time at home learning. Families wishing to have their children learning from home need to register with e-school, e-school will not be taking new student registrations until January 25.

The affected students and class will begin remote learning and will not return to the school until December 14th. Remote Learning will begin for those students on December 3rd.

Playground Supervision Hours

Just a reminder to all families that playground supervision for students who are not bus students begins at 8:53. Please do not send your children to school prior to 8:53. Now that the weather is cold, students should be dressed for the weather. Students will be playing outside if the temperature is minus 25 or warmer. Indoor recess is only if the temperature is colder than minus 25. After school, supervision for non-bus students is from 3:22-3:37 there is no playground supervision after 3:37 so all students who do not ride the bus should be off the playground at that time.
