Principal’s Message-Thursday October 31, 2024

A Message from Ms. Elmslie!

Dear Glencairn Community, 

Today is a special day with some members of our school community observing Hallowe’en and some members of our school community beginning to enjoy the special Festival of Diwali! However you are celebrating, I hope that you are having a great day. 

Please note that the school will be supported by the WRDSB facilities department and patrolled by the “Pumpkin Patrol” this evening.

Under the guidance of Ms. Gillespie students in grades 4 to 6 were invited to participate in a Glencairn choir! They are preparing for the Canadian Music Class Challenge 2024. Singing is a joyful noise and the students are joyful and sound great!

A friendly reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow, Friday November 1, 2024. Also, please remind your learners to refrain from bringing items to school that they do not want lost (i.e., lip gloss, special stuffies, jewelry); important items should stay home.

Please remember that this weekend the clocks will ‘fall back’ ending Daylight Savings Time on Sunday November 3, 2024. We don’t want anyone sleeping in for school on Monday!

Monday will mark the beginning of “Treaty Recognition Week”. Ask your student: “How are we all treaty people?” sometime next week! I think that you will be surprised by their informed answers.

Here are some important November dates and activities to be mindful of:
