Principal’s Message|  

“All good things come after a period of hibernation.” 
~ @abundantlyanushka 

In the past few weeks, we have quickly moved into a much colder season. With this change, nature reminds us of its patterns. One example is hibernation. Many animals, such as bears and hedgehogs, rest during the winter months to save energy and stay safe. While outside, our students have seen some of these changes as the hares have been changing colour to blend into the snow. 

For us, the change of season is also a time to slow down. Fall is usually busy, but winter brings quieter moments. It is a chance to rest, follow our routines, and prepare for the coming festive season. 

This season invites us to notice the beauty of stillness—perhaps during a calm walk in the cool air or a quiet moment in our classrooms. Just as animals get ready for winter by finding food and shelter, we can also use this time to care for ourselves and support each other as a community. 

As we enter this time of rest, let’s welcome the new season with gratitude and hope. Wishing you warmth, comfort, and peaceful moments as we move through this season together.

Medical Forms| 

If your child has a medical condition, please tell the school office. We need this information to keep your child safe at school. Parents work with the school to create a Student Health Plan and an Emergency Response Plan. These plans explain what your child needs each day and what to do in an emergency. 

If your child needs these plans, please contact the office. We will give you the correct forms to fill out.
