Richmond School's Week Ahead | April 29 - May 3

 

Dear Families,

The weather has been unpredictable, please continue to send your child(ren) to school dressed in layers prepared for warm and cooler temperatures. Students enjoy their outdoor learning in the HEART Circle (outdoor classroom) and play when dressed comfortably.

Our fourth practice fire drill took place today, with still two more to complete this year. The student behaviour was exceptional during this practice drill, students are respectful when following the procedures of the emergencies drills.

Next Year School 2024-2025 Update

Kindergarten: Just a reminder that if you have a younger child ready for kindergarten to please register ASAP. This will assist us in our planning for classes.

If you plan on moving and your child(ren) will not be attending Richmond School, please let the office know as soon as possible. Thank you to families who have already informed us of any changes, your family will be missed next year.

Richmond School Talent Show 2024

Preparations are underway for this year’s Talent Show! Thank you to all families that have returned the form for talent show participation so far. If you need another copy of the information letter please let Mr. G. know. If singing or dancing, please include the name of the song on the form so that a backing track can be sourced before the audition. If playing the piano, please bring the sheet music to school if possible so that a photocopy can be made.

Information about audition dates/times will be sent to participants’ school Gmail email address (______@educbe.ca) in batches over the next few weeks. Please make sure that you check your students’ school email regularly. Please email Mr. G. (adgoodridge@educbe.ca) with any backing tracks, sheet music, or questions.

School Council Update

Cookbook Fundraiser

A sincere thank you to all the parents and staff who took the time to submit recipes. Unfortunately, due to lack of participation, we are not able to proceed with the Cookbook fundraiser. 

Fundraising

Fundraising is important for our school but challenging without your involvement. If you have suggestions for fundraisers, please email them to denisewanchulak@gmail.com

With that said, we are bringing back the Growing Smiles Fundraiser so please get your gardens ready as more information will come next week.
