In collaboration with the Winnipeg Police Service, we are able to offer our parents an online presentation by the WPS on social media and online gaming. The link to the presentation has been added to our "Safe Schools" on our website (found under "School Life")
Any parents looking for more information on Social Media and Online Gaming and how to talk to their children about it are encouraged to follow the link and view the presentation.

Over spring break we will be upgrading our program cellphone to provide more reliable contact with our program staff both before and after school.
Until this time, we ask that parents come into the program area to pick up their child(ren)
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Attention all parents,
This is a reminder that any students arriving prior to 8:15 in the morning must report to program and access the before school program using the gym doors located between our school and St. B. The front doors will not be opened to students prior to 8:30
Students arriving between 8:15 and 8:30 should report to the back parking lot where doors will open by 8:20 to let students into the building.
Students arriving after 8:30 can then access the front doors and sign in at the office as they will be marked late.
Thank you all for your attention to this matter and have a great weekend.

Dear Parents,
This is a reminder that the children are to be wearing the approved school uniform as described in our uniform policy.
Students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 are required to be in full school uniform (as described in section 2.1 below) each school day from the first day of school in September to the last week in June. Students may be required to wear their full uniform when they are away from the school and are acting as representatives of the school. Students are required to wear uniform items that are clean and in a state of good repair--torn, faded or discoloured items are not acceptable and must be replaced. New uniforms may be purchased from the Top Marks website www.topmarks.ca (school code: HOLO1) throughout the year, as necessary.
Just a reminder that if your child is coming to school wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and they are wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath, please ensure that the long-sleeve shirt is plain and either white or light blue with NO designs on the sleeves.
2.1 Detailed Listing of School Uniform Clothing
ALL UNIFORM ITEMS LISTED BELOW MUST BE PURCHASED THROUGH TOP MARKS.
Students will not be allowed to wear uniform items purchased elsewhere, even if the garments come close to matching the school uniforms. Otherwise, the fairness of the school uniform policy is jeopardized.

As the weather is getting colder, please also ensure that your child(ren) is dressed appropriately for the outside weather conditions.

Hello Parents, if you have any books that you aren’t in need of that could be donated to be used for home reading programs in the younger grades, they would be very much appreciated. They can be brought into the school to the office. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
ATTN Parents:
While we understand the need for cell phones before school and after school for communication with your children, during the school day (8:30 AM-5:30 PM) cell phones are expected to remain in student lockers/backpacks. This includes walks to IA, before and after school program, field trips etc. There will be a designated table at before and after school program where tablets and iPads can be used for games ONLY.
If a cell phone is being used during the school day without staff permission it will be confiscated and returned to the student at the end of the school day.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
