Staffing Change

K-1 and K-3 parents, please be informed that a staffing change will occur after the Winter Break in your child's classroom. To better meet the needs of some of our students, Mrs. Melanie O'Neill (DECE currently in K-1) and Mrs. Casey Jones (DECE currently in K-3) will be switching classrooms. The Kindergarten staff plan on sharing this news with the students later this week. Both Mrs. O'Neill and Mrs. Jones are looking forward to the opportunity to work with new students, but are glad that they will still see their current students outside during outdoor play time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Mr. Scott at the office.

Just a Reminder...

We are looking forward to our Kinder Christmas Movie and Pizza Night which will be held this Wednesday evening (December 16th) in our school gymnasium. The fun begins at 5:30 PM. Be sure to wear your favorite pajamas. Parents are asked to bring beverages for your family and don't forget to pack a blanket and some comfy pillows for relaxing. We hope that you will make every effort to attend.
See you there!

Can You Help Us?

We are currently in need of a fine quality baby gate which can be used at the internal door to our classroom. The gate must be tall enough to discourage children from crawling over (or under) it. As well, the gate needs to be easy to set in place and remove quickly. We would prefer a plastic gate with a spring loaded handle for quick set-up and removal. If you have this type of gate and you would consider donating it to our classroom, please contact Mr. Pickett or Mrs. O'Neill. Thank you.

CHRISTMAS CAROL SING

Featuring Brad Boland

You are invited to come out and join us as we sing some of our favourite Christmas carols and holiday songs. Brad Boland will be leading us in song with his guitar. The Carol Sing will take place on Friday December 18th, beginning at 9:30 a.m. in our gymnasium. We hope to see you there!! 

Pasta Day Reminder

Pasta Day will be held on Tuesday, December 15th in our K-1 classroom. This DOES NOT align with the rest of the school. Please make sure that you have your orders in by Monday, December 14th. Thanks.

Kinder Family Christmas

Movie Night

You and your family are cordially invited to attend our Kinder Christmas Pizza and Movie Night on Wednesday, December 16th, from 5:30--7:00 PM in the Parnall School Gymnasium. Arrive in your coziest pyjamas with blankets and pillows prepared to enjoy a Classic Children’s Christmas movie. Pizza may be preordered in advance. An order form should have gone home with your child in Friday night's Zippy bag. Slices are at a cost of $1.00 each. Flavour choices include cheese or pepperoni and cheese. Families are encouraged to bring their own beverages from home for all family members who will be in attendance. Free popcorn will be provided for anyone wanting it. As well, the Kindergarten classes will present a short seasonal selection of songs.

To ensure the safety of all children, we ask that there be a parent in attendance with each student.

We hope that you and your family will make plans to attend.
