A message from Ms. Elmslie!
Dear Glencairn Community,
We have enjoyed some precious warm fall weather at the beginning of this week. It was so nice to see students enjoying themselves outside: running, playing 4-Square, playing soccer and enjoying our amazing play structures. We also enjoyed our first ‘Pizza Day’ this week-yum, yum!
Speaking of yummy, Glencairn School Council is offering a Rheo Thompson Mint Smoothie School Fundraiser in November. Please look for more information coming from the School Council soon. The November School Council meeting will be Wednesday November 13, 2024 at 6:00 pm in the Glencairn library, or virtually, as you prefer. We love seeing new faces at our meetings!
Families, please note that school supervision begins 15 minutes before the beginning of the school day and finishes 15 minutes after the end of the school day. We have students arriving long before the entry bell and it is challenging for our Extended Day Program (the children are outside at this time) to have additional children on the playground for the supervisors. And, prompt pick up, or departure in the case of older children, is an important safety consideration.
Please note the following upcoming dates and activities:
