Thursday December 22, 2016

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Tomorrow is pajama day. We will also have our Christmas/Holiday celebration tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who is planning on bringing food. It is also not too late to bring in your Secret Santa gift.

Please remember that you can get updates on what we have accomplished throughout the week on our Twitter account. The link is www.twitter.com/jonathanwcarr1 (you may need to copy and paste the link into your web browser in order to access the page).

Tonight's homework is as follows:

Secret Santa - Many students have asked if we can do Secret Santa this year, and the answer is a big YES :) The rules are as follows....
-$5 max gift
-Participation is optional
-Your gift must be wrapped.
-All gifts need to be at the school on Wednesday December 21st.
-We will do a gift steal. If you want to do a "gag" gift, that is fine, but please make sure it is appropriate.

Christmas/Holiday Party - There is a sign up sheet on Google Classroom (Literacy) for our party on the afternoon of the 23rd (Friday). If you would like to bring in food or drink, please sign up on the sheet. Some people may want to bring a dish, and that is fine, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT ALL FOODS ARE NUT FREE. WE HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES IN OUR CLASS SO THIS IS TAKEN VERY, VERY SERIOUSLY.

Have a great evening!

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Just a reminder that winter electives forms have been sent home. Please make sure that all forms and payment are returned at your earliest convenience if your child will participate. Thank you kindly. Please see the note below for additional information....

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As part of our Winter Electives program, our grade 4 to 8 students will have the opportunity to participate in downhill skiing, snowboarding, or snow tubing at Snow Valley Ski Resort this winter.

Permission forms have been sent home with your children. Please return them to the school before December 9, 2016.

We will need several parent volunteers to help with supervision at Snow Valley. If you are able to assist, please email Mr. Macris at alex.macris@yrdsb.ca. Bus transportation, lift tickets, and rental equipment will be provided to volunteers free of charge.

Volunteers will be working with groups of students. As such, volunteers must have a Vulnerable Sector Check completed through the York Region Police well in advance of the trip. A Vulnerable Sector Check form can be picked up from our school’s office. Furthermore, parents who volunteer to supervise skiing or snowboarding must know how to ski or snowboard. Parents who volunteer to supervise tubing are not required to tube.

Thank you.

The Rick Hansen Public School Staff

*You will need this link for our math lesson tomorrow:
