Me to We – 5 Days of Canada –  We are having a great week at Williamsburg celebrating and fundraising with the 5 Days of Canada.  Tomorrow is the last activity – The Basket Raffle.  Pictures of the Baskets are posted on our school website: https://wlm.wrdsb.ca/2017/06/13/me-to-we-5-days-of-canada-last-3-days/ Tickets are $1.00 for 2 tickets.  Thanks Williamsburg for your awesome support!

3.  Kindergarten Info Night for NEW Kindergarten Students and Families – We are holding our Kindergarten Information evening TONIGHT from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.  New JK and SK students along with their parents are invited to join us for this free-flow evening. We will have activities set-up in each of our Kindergarten rooms and will provide lots of important information for September.  We look forward to meeting our new students and their parents on June 15th.

4. Dress Code for School – Here is a friendly reminder about our school dress code. (This information is included in the planners that students received in the fall.)

Clothing that is unacceptable at school includes clothing that shows a bare midriff or undergarments, halter tops, items with pictures or words which are disrespectful or offensive and items which illustrate drugs, alcohol, smoking or sex.

A good suggestion is that shoulder straps should be a minimum of 2 fingers wide. Skirts or shorts should be at least mid-thigh or fingertip length. School attire is expected to be age appropriate, complementary to the students’ physical stage of development, and tasteful.

5. Primary Play Day – June 27th for Grades 1, 2, 3  – Here is some important information for our upcoming Primary Play Day:

– If it’s raining the event will be cancelled
– Apply sunscreen before your child comes to school
– Wear a hat, cool and comfortable clothing and sunglasses
– Wear running shoes, no sandals or flip-flops
– Send along a water-bottle labelled with your child’s first and last name
