Test Import

Fall Celebration tomorrow. No school Friday. Last day for the AARCS fundraiser (bake sale) is tomorrow! Check out their link: https://aarcs.ca

Dear Keeler families, As a public school, we recognize and acknowledge many cultures, holidays and customs.  Currently, over 30% of our school population are identified as speaking another language other than English at home.  While we don’t stop and celebrate each holiday at school, we do know the diverse number of holidays and customs that our collective school community embraces.  Halloween is one of these annual events that some of our families participate in.  Students are invited to bring a simple, non-violent (no weapons) costume that staff can identify them (no mask) to wear over their clothes on  October 31 .  Other options include wearing black and orange, wearing school spirit wear, or also not dressing up at all. The Grade 2's will have a fall celebration tomorrow afternoon.   Families are welcome to send nut free and kiwi free snacks.   Ms. McGill's class has 20 students and Mrs. Rahal's class has 21.  

Dear Parents, It is very important that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather, including hats, gloves, mittens, etc. We do not have enough clothing to lend out to students who need these items and we also do not have the staff to be able to supervise a lot of students inside on colder days over lunch and recess times. We will, however, have indoor recess and lunches when temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including wind-chill factor. Please see our guidelines below: CBE Cold Weather Guidelines for On-Site Activities
 When temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including the wind-chill factor, it is recommended that students be kept inside for recess or lunch breaks. The minus 20 Celsius guideline is comparable to other school jurisdictions in Alberta and across Canada. note | this temperature is provided as a guideline and may be adjusted for the school/activity. Thank you!
