Dear Windebank Families,
Here are a few informational items about upcoming events and activities at the school.
A reminder that school is closed tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Spring Break : )
FYIs
- Report Card Envelopes- All paperwork from the Report Card envelopes is yours to keep, but please send the envelopes back for reuse at your earliest convenience.
- COVID 19- Please see the attached letter regarding Spring Break travel and COVID-19 updates from the School District
Staff and Parents COVID Spring Break 2020.pdf - PAC Purdy's Fundraiser- Just a note that the order deadline has been extended to March 31st for online order/payment.
- School Spirit- Congratulations to the Yellow Team on their Term Victory! The deciding factor was House Team colour points on Mondays.
From the Office
- Student Absences – If your child is away sick please advise the office. If they have anything that would require a letter home to classmates (pink eye, lice, hand, foot & mouth, etc.) please make sure that information is communicated to the office.
Field Trips/Planners – Just a reminder as field trips are coming up that the school is no longer accepting cash/cheque payment for field trips/planners. If you have any questions, please contact the office - Health & Safety- As of Monday, February 24, 2020, every MPSD site will have a Visitor sign-in/sign-out log in the Office, as per district OHS policy. Please be sure to sign-in and out and collect your "Visitor" lanyard if you'll be onsite with us. This is a safety procedure to help us account for all persons on site in case of an emergency. If you are onsite without a visible "Visitor" lanyard, staff will check in with you to direct you to the Office so we can adjust quickly to the routine.
School Catchment Boundary- The School Board has requested a full review of all school catchment boundaries. Before determining any details for boundary changes, the School District is interested in getting feedback through a Boundary Catchment Survey. Responses will provide information that will guide the development of options for consideration by the Board of Education. Please complete both surveys. The survey closes March 20th
