2. October’s Hero Gem Trait is Resilience – Students and teachers continue to work this month on recognizing and building resilience. The challenge this week is: “Challenge yourself to keep small problems small, but know who to ask for help when you need it.”
3. Photos Arriving Soon – We are expecting student photo packages to be arriving soon to Williamsburg. They will be sent home with the students as soon as they get here so that you can order whatever photos you wish on-line or in the envelope provided. If you missed our first photo day or are not satisfied with the photos, there will be a photo re-take day on Thursday, October 25th.
4. School Council – Join us for our next School Council Meeting on Monday, October 29th at 6:00 pm in the library. Everyone welcome!
5. Police Check Reminder – Thank you to those people who have already submitted their Police Checks to the school. A reminder that individuals wishing to volunteer at Williamsburg Public School for our Strong Start reading program, field trips or other interactions with students must have a Police Vulnerable Sector Check completed for the 2018-2019 school year.

6. October 31 – Spirit Day – On October 31st, Williamsburg staff and students can wear a costume or can come dressed in black and orange to show their Williamsburg school spirit. If your child is coming in costume, please ensure that costumes are school appropriate (no weapons, masks or violent/scary costumes).
Have a great week!
