Weekly Reminders Sep 21 – 28, 2015

Please return school media consent forms, BC Fruit & Veg reverse consent (if required) & walking field trip forms and send in school supplies and agenda fees to the classroom at your earliest convenience, if you have not already done so.

LUNCH TIME
The school is going to test out going back to all Divisions eating at the same time. Lunch Bell is 12:10 (Kindies come out a bit earlier) and end of lunch bell is 1pm.  The younger Divisions will continue to eat in the lunch room, and the older Divisions will be eating in their classroom (with some supervision by aides & SSSWs). The older students have been making table mats and laminating them in preparation to eat in their class. Students will eat and then go and play outside (or in other areas if raining.)  The PAC Hot Lunch crew is adjusting our counter service approach slightly to make sure we can get hot lunch to everyone that ordered it, very quickly! We think it will run very smoothly!  Principal Cannon, Teachers and Hot Lunch crew ask that everyone be patient this week as we work through the kinks!
