Dear Wolverine Families,
It’s hard to believe that we are heading into December already! The snow has arrived, and we are happy to have some light, fluffy snow to brighten our days. Getting outside daily helps keep us healthy and well. Be sure to dress for the weather and send a spare set of socks and mitts if your child likes to play in the snow!

Principal
Parents and/or guardians are reminded to drop students off at the gates at the back of the school in the morning and pick up at the gates in the afternoon. Parents and/or guardians are not permitted on the tarmac as it makes supervision and lines of sight for pickup/dismissal more challenging.
Supervision on the schoolyard begins at 9 am. Please ensure your children are not arriving at school before there is supervision. Thanks!
Please also remember that there is no smoking/vaping on school property.
