Hello Parents,

Here are this week’s updates:

1. Pizza/Cookie Orders for NOVEMBER due by Thursday, October 25th – Our next round of Pizza/Cookie orders for November is now open on School-Day. This ordering period covers the weeks of November 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 and will be taken on School-Day from today until Thursday, October 25th. Please note that there are 5 weeks in this ordering period! See the How-To-Order Guide below for step by step instructions for ordering. Call the school office if you have any questions or want to get registered on School-Day – 519-742-1848.

2. School-Day Language Feature – The School-Day Parent Dashboard includes a language feature and gives parents the ability to select the language that you see on School-Day. Click on SELECT LANGUAGE in the top right side of the screen to choose the language you wish to use. It is a great tool for our Williamsburg families.

3. Photo Orders – Photo proofs have now been sent home.  You can send your order into the school or you can order online by going to edgeimagaing.ca/order.  If your child missed having their picture taken or you are not happy with the first picture, we are having a Photo Retake Day on Thursday, October 25th.

4. October 26 PD Day – Please remember that next Friday is a PD Day. Staff will be working on our School Improvement Plan and there is NO school for students.

5. October 31 – Spirit Day – On October 31st, Williamsburg staff and students can wear a costume, can come dressed in black and orange or can “dress as a student” 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).

6. Resilience – We continue to build our resilience skills at Williamsburg. We are trying to keep small problems small. When solving problems we can use our WITS:

  • W – Walk-Away
  • I – Ignore
  • T – Talk it Out
  • S – Seek Help
