Wellness Survey and Home and School

Good Day this is Rothesay Elementary with a few reminders on Monday January 16th
1.The January Home & School newsletter has been posted to the RES Families Facebook page.  Please like the page to stay up to date on important Home & School information.  Our next meeting is Tuesday night, January 17th at 6:30pm. 
We are in desperate need of volunteers for our safe arrival program.  Volunteering includes coming into the school a couple times a month to check messages from parents regarding why their children are not at school, and making calls home to the parents of students who did not leave a message.  This very important program cannot run without volunteers, and we currently have 5 parent volunteers trying to cover every morning.  If you are able to help out even once a month, please message us on Facebook or contact Lynn Flewwelling at lynnflewwelling@hotmail.com
 
2. Our School will be participating in The New Brunswick Student Wellness Survey next week. The New Brunswick Student Wellness Survey is a provincial initiative of the Department of Social Development – Wellness Branch, in partnership with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development and the New Brunswick Health Council . The survey gathers information from students in grades 4 and 5 and parents/guardians of students in grades K to 5. It surveys attitudes and behaviours regarding healthy eating, mental fitness, bullying, physical activity and tobacco use.
By taking the time to complete this survey, students and parents can contribute to their school’s improvement plans and student wellness activities. During the week of January 23rd, our school will be participating in this survey, as we aim to improve the health and wellness of children in our community. Your child will be bringing home the parent survey to your home shortly. Please take the time to answer the survey and return it to the school by Friday, January 27th. Grade 4 and 5 students will be completing the survey at school.
Participation by students at the time of survey administration will be voluntary and anonymous. Prior to the date of the survey, parents who do not want their child to participate can call the New Brunswick Health Council at 1-877-225-2521 and must provide the school name, student name, home room teacher’s name and grade. Please inform your child’s teacher as well if you do not want your grade 4 or 5 student to participate in this survey.
 
Thank you and have a great week!
