If you took time out of your busy schedule this school year to work on School Council, attend a class or school team trip, volunteer in the school or a classroom, please come and enjoy.

Formal invitations will be sent home via our students, but just in case yours doesn’t make it home, please take note of the date. Staff will be on duty at 8:10 for school aged children.

This Friday (March 1st) is Live Free Day. Students have been given pledge cards and are encouraged to bring a twoonie along with their pledge cards on Friday. Money raised is donated directly to our school to support our breakfast club program. Pledge cards will be displayed on the bulletin board in our front foyer in order to celebrate our efforts to support those who “Live Without.”

This year I will be giving up television for the day. I usually watch my favourite British soap “Coronation Street” every night. On Friday I will Live Free of television and “Corrie” and donate a twoonie. I encourage others to think of what they will live without that day!

As the weather gets colder please make sure your child is dressed for outdoor recess. Recess lasts 30 minutes, and will only be shortened on very cold days. In extreme conditions students will be kept inside for recess. Be absolutely sure all cold weather clothes are labelled - mitts, hat, snow pants, boots and coat. Help your child establish a routine to keep track of belongings.

December 2012 News

We need the help of all parents to keep our school driveway safe for every student. Since the cooler weather has arrived many families are dropping off or picking up children. Please remember these guidelines:

  1. The Staff parking lot is available for use by parents for an extended stay at Gateway (parent/teacher interview, day volunteer, class trip volunteer). Please do not use this area for drop off or pick up.

  2. Parents of older students are asked to kindly park along the side streets and wait for their children to cross at the crosswalk, keeping the limited parking spots available to for the younger families with Kindergarten pickups.

  3. Do not park along the left side of the driveway at the front of the school and near the entrance. This blocks the fire route and bus zone areas.

Keeping our students safe is everyone’s responsibility. Encourage your children to walk to school as often as possible. Please read the attached letter from the Guelph Police which emphasizes these points.
