Information Items:
We have had a great first week of school. Our students are getting acquainted with their teachers, meeting new friends , catching up with current friends, and learning expectations and routines!
Our online payment of school fees (through Paypal) is now live and ready to go! The K-2 fee is $20 and the grade 3-5 fee is $25 with a family maximum of $50. Students in Mrs. Kilpatrick, Mrs. Milburn, and Mrs. McNeill will pay the same fee as the other K-2 students. The link to the online payment is: https:// bigsanto.formbin.com/forms/fes_school_fees.

We ask that parents who drive their children to school to use one of the drop off locations or park in front of the playground. For safety reasons, only staff should be on the playground. If you are walking your child to the playground entrance, please say your goodbyes at the gate.
Morning Open Gym starts this week with Grade 1 students on Monday, Grade 2 students on Tuesday, Gr. 3 students on Wednesday, Gr. 4 on Thursday and Gr. 5 on Friday. On their designated day, children are welcome to go to the gym for activity stations instead of going to the playground.
The Rainbows program will be offered this fall, beginning in October. Rainbows is a program for children who have experienced a significant loss in their lives through death, illness, divorce, separation, or an- other painful transition. If you feel your child could benefit from participating in this program or you have questions, please contact our guidance counsellor, Ms. Casey at 847-6304 or kerry.casey@nbed.nb.ca.
