Principal's MESSAGE (November 18, 2023)
Dear REDFISH Families,
Wherever this weekend finds you, I hope you are able to lean into some form of quality time, rest, and renewal with those you hold close. Following are a few highlights, heads-ups, and housekeeping items as we look ahead to the upcoming week…
PARENT CONSENT FORMS (X3)
Thank you to the many REDFISH parents who have already completed the following school district consent forms through the link sent out through email…
- Local Neighbourhood Excursion Consent FORM
- FIPPA Consent FORM
- Media + Website Consent FORM
… So far, just over half of our REDFISH families have responded, and we would like to gather responses from the remaining families by the end of the coming school week. For those who have not yet had the chance, please consider setting aside a minute or two this weekend to complete the forms through the link sent out via email.
We are fortunate to have such a great staff at REDFISH Elementary. Teachers and support staff continue to work hard, day in and day out, to provide an enriching school experience for your children.
This week, I would like to acknowledge the classroom teachers specifically for carrying on with this important work while investing additional hours in preparing written learning updates (i.e. report cards) for upcoming publication on November 27.
WINTER BUS ROUTES MEMO
Please refer to the SD8 Transportation Department memo distributed to parents via email regarding alternate school bus routes in the event of severe winter weather.
ArtCards by Kids POTENTIAL PRODUCTION ISSUE
Please note that some ArtCards by Kids orders may have been impacted by a paper mill production issue. Please refer to the ArtCards by Kids letter and samples that were attached to the parent email for more details and next steps.
