Grant MacEwan Celebration of Learning and Open House
May 16, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
I would like to invite all parents and guardians to our Celebration of Learning and Open House on Thursday May 16 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM. We will be celebrating our learning so far this year with short presentations from each grade. There will be a Kona Ice and the Candy Man Food trucks available. Students will also be showing off some of their talents from our upcoming talent show. Please read messages from teachers as we move closer to the date. Hope to see everyone there.
Busing
Students on buses will be practicing emergency evacuation drill when they are dropped off at our school on Tuesday May 7. We do this every year to practice so students know what to do in case of emergency. This is similar to practicing evacuation of the school during fire drills.
Lots of concerns have been raised by parents around safety of children during pick-up times at the bus zone and dismissal time at school at the end of the day. It is very important that adults model safe behavior during the times of pick-up and drop-off. We ask parents to always walk their children and use crosswalks to model safety while crossing the street. Please do not park in bus zones, do u-turns during drop-off or pick-up and please do not model or encouraged children to walk between parked cars or cross streets without using the crosswalk. Also please encourage your children not to run towards the bus as it approaches the stop.
School Council
Next School Council Meeting will be Thursday May 9 at 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM.
We will be discussing the upcoming Grant MacEwan Celebration of Learning and Open House and updates on fundraising and use of School Council funds that are supporting student learning. Hope to see you there.
Volunteer Tea - May 10
Currently teachers are sending out invites to adults that have volunteered for us this year to support student learning experiences. We are inviting all volunteers to the school tea to thank them for their support this year. If you volunteered this year and have not received an invite please contact your child’s teacher.
