From the School

Dismissal Reminders:

  • Please send your child with a jacket in the morning in case the students go out to recess and it gets cold.  
  • Now that the weather is warm, the children want to stay outside after dismissal.  If they stay, encourage them to gather in the playground instead of on the surrounding school grounds.
  • We have had a few incidents were students were breaking the tree branches or destroying bushes.
  • We have also had incidents were students were having issues with one another unsupervised.

As a community, we are simply asking that we all remind our children to play in the playground, be respectful of one another and be mindful of our neighbors in the Gardens. Thank You!
