Good Afternoon
This is a message from Linda Myers, Principal of Norton
Elementary School.
First and foremost, I would like to thank parents and
students alike for their cooperation and patience in what has been an unusual
start up to our school year. To date
things have gone very smoothly and this is in large part due to your support.
We have a few upcoming events that we would like you to be
aware of. In keeping with District
Policy, this week we will be conducting the first of our fire drills. There will be two more throughout the coming
weeks. During the week of 5 October, we
will be doing our yearly evacuation drill when we walk, socially distanced as a
school to the Norton Baptist Church Hall.
This is where we would go should the need ever arise to evacuate our
school building. During this time
students will also participate in our school lockdown which is held within our
building. Further information as well as
a permission slip for your child to leave the school grounds will be sent home
in the coming days. Please sign it and
return it to the school as soon as possible.
We are also happy to announce that on Friday, 2 October, we
will be holding the Terry Fox Walk recognizing the 40th Anniversary
of Terry’s historic trek across Canada.
Instead of doing our usual fundraiser we are asking that students bring
a Twoonie for Terry. Again, a permission slip is being sent home and we ask
that you return it to the school as soon as possible.
Thank you again for your support of both your children and
our staff so far this year. As always,
it is greatly appreciated!

Good Afternoon
This is Linda Myers, principal of Norton Elementary with a
brief message for parents.
Thank you all for your patience as we continue to navigate
the first couple of days back to school.
It has been so nice to see the students again and everyone seems ready
to learn after our extended absence.
I would like to ask that parents please send a paper note
with their child if there is any change to their regular afterschool
routine. This can save a lot of
questions and concern for both the child and the teacher at the end of the
day. Also, as you fill out your yellow
and pink registration forms, we ask that you keep the school updated if any of
the phone numbers listed happen to change throughout the year.
Thanks and have a great evening.
