Welcome Back WolfPack!
For those of you returning to in-person learning:
Teachers will be reaching out to families between September 1st and 3rd, to share your child's class placement, and information about what to expect on the first day. If you have not heard by the 3rd, please contact the school at 519 369-2217.
There is certainly a lot of information and updates as we plan for to Return to Learn
What to expect when you return to school:
Masks are mandatory for grades 4-8, and recommended for JK-Grade 3.
There will be scheduled washroom breaks throughout the day.
Physical distancing
Zones for outside gym, DPA and outdoor learning.
Line ups for entry and exit
Handwashing
Litterless lunches and refillable waterbottles
School Supplies and Materials: Students can plan to bring minimal school supplies (e.g., pen, pencils, binder, glue). Personal belongings should also be minimized (e.g., clothing, sunscreen, food, waterbottle). Like past years, school also will have school materials/supplies for the students. If there are specific items, the classroom teacher will communicate with home. Please ensure that everything is clearly labelled.
Preparing for Weather: We will be taking advantage of outside time for learning and DPA (Daily Physical Activity). In addition to all the known benefits of time spent outdoors, it will also allow for “mask breaks. Students are encouraged to always be prepared for all types of weather - - outside gear for rain and snow. And once again, always label!
Stay tuned for more updates next week!
