WALKATHON

Congratulations to all students and their families for an amazing walkathon.  We even made the local paper:

Our current tally shows that we have achieved our goal of $10,000.00 and we did it with 98% participation!!!  There is still time to make that 100% as all forms and money are due this Friday.

We will release our final numbers, class and student winners at the assembly next Monday.

MOTHER’S DAY TEA

Thank you to all who have sent in their attendance for our Mother’s Day Tea which is taking place Thursday, May 10. If you have not done so yet, please send in your notice as soon as possible. If you have volunteered as a dad in helping out, please be at school tomorrow (Thursday May 10th) at 8:30 to help out with our preparations.

 

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TRACK MEET

A reminder that the KofC Track Meet is this Saturday at Bear Creek Park.  Parents are responsible for driving their child to the Park and being with them during the competition.  Students can leave once they are done competing for the day.  The meet is nicknamed “the working parent meet” because it gives a chance for those parents who work Monday – Friday to come out and watch their child compete with the school.  We look forward to seeing all of you there.

 

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE CLUB

If your child is participating in the Outdoor Adventure Club trip to Deep Cove for hiking and kayaking, you must fill out a waiver form.  The waiver can be found here:

Deep Cove Kayak Waiver

REMINDERS

NOTES FROM PARENTS

We require a signed note from a parent when:

• your child has been absent from school for any reason

• your child needs to leave the school for an appointment, etc.

• your child cannot participate in a specific activity

• your child cannot go outdoors during recess or lunch break

• someone other than yourself picking up your child early from school (early dismissal)

Once school has started, children who are late or who have to leave the school early MUST sign in or out at the office.

 

ABSENT NOTES

If your child is away for any reason, it is imperitive that an absentee note be submitted to the school indicating the reason of the absenteeism.  The Ministry of Education requires a note from students who are absent.  Failing to submit a note may jeopardize your funding from the government.

 

NOTIFICATION OF CAREGIVERS

If someone else is going to be your child(ren)’s caregiver/guardian, whether it is for one day or one week, please give this information to the school office. In the event of an emergency, it is extremely important that you notify the school if you are going to be away and someone else will be looking after your child(ren).

 

PARENT PARTICIPATION HOURS MUST BE COMPLETE BY MAY 31ST

An email went out on April 4th to families who had yet to complete their 40hrs of parent participation. The deadline to complete the annual required Parent Participation Hours is May 31st and it is fast approaching.  Please ensure that you have completed the needed hours prior to May 31st. Any hours completed June 1st and beyond, will be credited towards the 2018-2019 school year.

IF YOUR HOURS ARE NOT COMPLETE OR ARE NOT RECORDED WITH ONVOLUNTEERS BY MAY 31ST, YOUR CHEQUE WILL BE CASHED. 

Please continue to check for volunteer opportunities for this school year, they are posted on the Actives page of the St. Bernadette parent portal.

In order for your hours to be posted to your parent portal account, please ensure that you send in “ad hoc” request for each task you have not registered for or have been assigned to. Each corresponding registered task, assigned task and “ad hoc” request must be accompanied by documenting your hours in the Volunteer Sign-in sheet in the red binder located in front of the school office.

If you have any questions, please send a message via OnVolunters messaging to the Volunteer Coordinator or email to participation@stbernadette.ca

NSF FEE CHANGE

In reference to the policy regarding Insufficent Funds, as detail in the St. Bernadette Parent Handbook, the NSF fees shall been amended as follows:

• If an NSF cheque is returned to the school by the Bank, an additional charge of $25.00 will be levied to the family.

• If a 2nd NSF cheque is returned to the school by the bank and any subsequent cheques returned by the Bank as NSF (if it occurs in the same school year), an additional charge of $45.00 will be levied to the family.

These changes will come into effect starting on April 30th, 2018
