Hot Lunch: Mr. Vincent’s team of student chefs continue to provide us with some hot lunch options. This week we have options available on three days. Supplies are limited so we suggest students also bring some “back up” snacks in the event that supplies run out.

Ski Club: Ski Club to Poley Mountain will be running again this year. The forms and deposit are now open to students in Grade 7 & 8 online through Cashless Schools – a $25 deposit AND signed forms must be submitted by Thursday, November 21^st. Any remaining spots will then be offered to our Gr. 6 students on November 25^th.

Report Cards:  Report Cards will be going home today, November 18 with Parent/Teacher meetings on Nov 21 5:00pm-8:00pm and November 22 from 9:00-11:00am.  Families may still call to book an appointment, although spots are now limited. Please be prepared to tell the Admin Assistant which of your child’s teachers you would like to meet with as they will be not necessarily be meeting together.

Winter Expectations: Finally, as it is Canada, and winter is coming, we expect students to be dressed properly. Raiders must be prepared to be outside in weather as cold as -15 C and should have long pants and a coat or hoodie on at all times, when outside, between Nov 1 and March 30.

Diversity & Respect Week is November 18-22: All children in our schools should feel safe and have the opportunity to learn in a culture of respect. Inclusiveness is fundamental to education. Diversity & Respect Week replaces Bullying Awareness Week promoted in New Brunswick schools since 2012. We will be talking a great deal about these topics throughout the week in RaiderTime and other opportunities for discussion.
