Hello Parents,
Here are this week’s updates:
1. PD Day – There is a PD day this Friday, January 24. There is no school for students.
2. Kindergarten Registration for NEW JK/SK Students – Registration for children born in 2016 is now open online at http://www.wrdsb.ca/register/ . If your child currently attends Williamsburg Public School in JK, there is no need to register for SK as this happens automatically at the school level. Please share this information with your friends and neighbours in our school community.
If you have any questions about the registration process for Kindergarten please, do not hesitate to call the Office at 519-742-1848 x3.
3. French Immersion Registration Continues for September 2020 – French Immersion Registration for students who are currently in SK is open now and is to be completed online by January 31, 2020. Please go to the following link to register: https://www.wrdsb.ca/french/
4. We need your help! – We continue to struggle with students arriving late to school. When students are late, it means that they are missing the routines at the beginning of the day. It also means that our office staff need to take the time to assist students with checkin and (in the case of Kindergarten) walk the students to class. This is taking up valuable time and slowing down our safe arrival calls, which is a priority for student safety. Please help us out by making sure that your child is lined up at the back of the school by 9:00am.
5. Pizza days for February – This is a reminder that there will be no pizza days for the month of February. Please send a full lunch with your child(ren) on Thursdays.
6. Hero Gems – We continue to focus on optimism for January. We often talk about the negative impact of gossip. Instead of negative gossip, switch it up to use “positive gossip”. Tell someone about the great things a friend, sibling, parent, or teacher has done for you lately and how/why it made a positive difference in your life.
7. Home Reading Incentive Program – Remember to encourage your child to keep reading every night! We will continue to have draws each month!
8. Dogs on School Property – We want to remind parents that dogs are not allowed on school property before, during or after school hours.
9. Parking Lot Reminder – Please remember that our parking lot is for Staff and Visitors only. Parents should not be dropping off or picking up their children in our parking lot. We need to keep our students safe.
