Pumpkin Patch Field Trip October 16th

All kindergartens are going to Hazelmere Pumpkin Patch on October 16th, 2023. Click the button above for online permissions slip, to be completed by October 6th. If you have changed your car insurance or your driver’s license has been renewed in the past year, please update your information by submitting the driver’s authorization form. Please also remember to send their booster seat (labelled with name) on the day of the field trip, if you are not able to attend with your child.

Prayer Focus for the Beginning of the Year

We have learned the Sign of the Cross, the Morning Offering, Grace, the Hail Mary and the Guardian Angel prayer already this year. Ask your child to show you how they can pray these prayers at home during your family prayer times. Click the link for a copy of some of these prayers.

October Homework Calendar

Homework calendars have been sent home in your child’s planner and are completely optional. If you choose to complete some/all of the activities, please indicate which ones you have done and send the calendar back to school on November 1st for a small prize.

Hot Lunch

Hot lunches begin this month. They arrive at noon, so please ensure your child has a recess snack on these days as well as a water bottle. Many children drink throughout the day and will not be able to wait until their juice arrives at lunchtime. We will send home any uneaten food so that you are aware of what your child likes or dislikes for future orders. Please let your child know if you have or have not ordered lunch for them.

Library Books

Just a reminder that Kindergarten has library book exchange on Fridays. Please ensure your child’s book is returned on or before Friday morning.
