Good day Wildcat Families,
First off, we are so proud of our staff and students and their efforts to learn, practice and follow-through on all the routines and safety habits that keep us and your families safe. We keep reminding students how important we stay consistent on this, not to create fear, but to encourage them that together, we can exercise control and do our part to combat this challenge.
Just a few important updates;
1. Last call for any parents wishing to become part of our 2021-2022 Catholic School Advisory Council (also formerly know as Parent Council). Application forms were brought home with your children as part of their Opening Week Package. We have attached a PDF below if you are still interested and have misplaced yours. Please fill it out and send it back to the school a.s.a.p. Our 1st "virtual" meeting take place Monday, September 20th @ 6:45pm.
2. We've kicked off our Terry Fox #Wildcats Fight for CANCER RESEARCH Campaign. This is an "online donation" program only. Our GOAL is $2,500!!! Visit our website for more info or go directly to our school's DONATION PAGE @ https://secure.terryfox.ca/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?TeamID=949695
3. Another positive is that we've noticed so many students and parents walking to school or picking up at school. However, because we have so many families on campus, our concern is the congregation of so many people. So we are asking for your TOTAL SUPPORT in the following 2 ways;
#1 Please "spread out and physically distance" yourself from others. Dr. Mercer has advised that congregating is one of the highest risk factors. For younger students in Kindergarten to Grade 3, as long as you are within eye shot of the teacher we can release the children to you. For students in Grade's 4-8, the teachers just release them and you can decide with your child on a safe meeting place.
#2 When physical distancing is a challenge, the importance of "wearing a mask" is extremely important and helps compensate for everyone's safety. SO PLEASE WEAR A MASK, it is good modelling for young people as well.
Thanks again everyone, your children and our staff are working really hard, we can't be more impressed with their collaboration, maturity and understanding. We need everyone on board with us :)
Be safe everyone! Thank you WILDCATS!!
