Hello families!
I'll be posting new information here, on this page, rather than overburden your inbox with messages. This page is not public, it is "hidden", meaning it can only be accessed by direct link. We're working on a new private website where we will post lots of pictures of our daily adventures, upcoming dates and links to important information. :)K

SD43 Emergency Release Day, Thursday, May 14
As you know, SD43 will be holding an Emergency Release Day on Thursday, May 14th. Your child's school has sent out information and forms for you to fill out, you may also find information here.
This is an opportunity for families to plan how they can navigate an emergency release with the people listed on the emergency release forms with their child's school, therefore:
Block 8 WILL NOT be picking up students early!
We will be operating during our regular hours on May 14th. Our staff will be at each school at 2:50pm. Starting tomorrow, Tuesday, May 5th, we will have sign-up sheets with each roster where you can indicate if you require regular after-school care starting 2:50pm. This is for our staffing purposes and to prevent our staff from having to call each family if their child is not present at their regular dismissal time.
If you have any questions please let me know!
