PLEASE READ

It is with regret that I inform you that posts to this blog will cease immediately until further notice. As part of the Work to Rule job action currently underway in public elementary schools across the province, I am following protocol as laid out by the Elementary Teacher's Federation of Ontario. A note will be sent home in your child's Zippy Bag informing you as to when updated posts will resume. 

More First Week Fun!

Friday, September 18th 

is EARLY RELEASE DAY!

On Friday of this week, September 18th, all students will be dismissed from school at 12:05 in the afternoon. Teachers will be involved in professional activities throughout the afternoon. ALL students must be picked up at 12:05 PM unless prearrangements have been made with the YMCA Daycare. Dismissal will occur at the south-east front door of the school.

ZIPPY BAGS GO HOME ON MONDAY,  SEPTEMBER 14th

Be on the lookout for your child's ZIPPY BAG in his/her backpack Monday afternoon when s/he comes home from school. This bag will enable us to stay connected with each family throughout the year. Check the bag each evening and place it back into the backpack. We will check the ZIPPY BAG each morning when your child arrives at school. There will be many days when the bag arrives home empty. That's OK. Simple leave it in the backpack and send it back to school the next morning. Thanks for helping us to reinforce this very important routine with your child.

Highlights From Our First Day

Meeting and making new friends, renewing old friendships, creating with play dough, discovering wonders found in nature, singing, dancing, sharing stories, laughing and learning were all a part of our first day together. I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds!

Welcome to FDELKP!

It is with great pleasure and excitement that Mr. Pickett and Mrs. O'Neill welcome you to our Full-Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program at Parnall Public School. We are delighted that you have taken a few minutes to seek out our blog and take a look around. Be sure to check back in with us every few days as new posts are added throughout the week. We will do our best to post classroom happenings so you will know how your child is spending his/her day. To the right under 'DOWNLOADS', you will notice that there is a link to our September classroom calendar. It, too, will be updated regularly as our classroom schedule begins to take shape throughout the month. Be on the lookout for a Kindergarten Information brochure which will be coming home in your child's backpack this week. It contains lots of information regarding our program, our schedule and items your child will need to bring with him/her to school.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Mr. Pickett or Mrs. O'Neill either before or after school. If needed, we can schedule an appointment with you to discuss any concerns you might have.

Again, WELCOME! We are glad you're here!
