Remembrance Day Assembly

Thank you to all of our students, families, and community members who came to our Remembrance Day assembly this morning. It is so important to acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served our country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve.

By remembering all who have served, we recognize their willingly-endured hardships and fears, taken upon themselves so that we could live in peace.

Thank YOU!

Thank you very much to Brax for his many acts of kindness and initiative in providing students in one of our community classes new doodle and draw booklets that he created!

New Trees Thank you to the Plant Department at the York Region District School Board for donating two new trees - an Autumn Blaze and Sugar Maple! They have been planted in our Outdoor Classroom and we look forward to the spring when the trees can provide us some much needed shade! Math is Everywhere! Providing opportunities at home that promote math talk can support a child’s mathematical knowledge and understanding. Whether you are, shopping, cooking, playing a game, organizing, taking a walk, or reading, there are many opportunities to highlight math in different ways. Activities: Primary - Grocery Shopping

Ask your child to estimate how many of a grocery item (for example, a type of fruit or vegetable, bread or pet food) your family will need for the week.

Ask, “Why do you think that amount will be needed?” At the end of the week, have your child count the number actually used.



Junior/Intermediate - Budget Challenge Give your child an imaginary budget to spend at his or her favourite store (flyers or online catalogues

may be helpful). Without writing down the amounts, have your child choose items to purchase. He or she will have to use estimation to stay within the budget. Then, have your child add up the actual costs. Did she or he stay within the budget? For a challenge, help your child estimate any taxes. Tips for Math

Build strong, positive attitudes about math. When children feel positively engaged and successful, they are more likely to stick with an activity or a problem to find a solution.

Begin with activities that meet your child’s level of mathematical understanding. Early success in solving problems will build your child’s confidence. Gradually move to activities that provide more challenge for your child.

If you and your child are more comfortable in a language other than English, use it. Your child will understand concepts better in the language that he or she knows best Bus Cancellation Information To ensure the safety of students, school bus service may be cancelled from time to time due to inclement weather, extreme temperatures and/or poor road conditions. In these cases, parents and students should develop alternate care/transportation arrangements. Since some busing schedules begin by 7:00 a.m., cancellation decisions must be made by 6:00 a.m. to allow time to communicate this message to bus drivers. Cancellation decisions will only be made after thorough consultation with the Safety Officers of school bus companies servicing York Region and are based on several factors including precipitation, air temperature, road conditions and weather forecast. Please note the following;

A decision to cancel school bus service will be region-wide meaning all school buses, vans and taxis will not operate. School bus routes may be cancelled when severe weather may not be affecting all municipalities in York Region.

Both the YRDSB and YCDSB operate many regional educational programs. Students attending these programs are transported over large attendance areas encompassing several municipal boundaries. This limits the ability to cancel bus service using a municipality or zone methodology. Unless otherwise stated, schools will remain open and parents can make arrangements to transport their children to and from school even if school bus service is cancelled. If buses are cancelled in the morning, they will not operate in the afternoon. Therefore students transported to school by parents will require the same transportation home. Parents, students and school staff are asked to access the following radio and television stations after 6:00 a.m. to receive bus cancellation information: RADIO 590 AM 640 AM 680 AM 860 AM 1010 AM 1050 AM 1540 AM 1580 AM

Please note that school bus charters will not operate when home to school bus service is cancelled. SANTA CLAUS PARADE The holidays are quickly approaching and what better way to get into the holiday spirit but to participate in the Keswick Santa Claus Parade! The theme this year is “Spreading Cheer” (cheerios). Students will be dressed in the Christmas onesies and/ or Fairwood hockey jerseys. They can also wear holiday colours (red, green, gold, silver). Students will need a head band and they will make antennas with cheerios on them. We are sending cheerful messages to the community. Primary grades will be given first priority to sit on the float. Everyone else will walk with the float. Students who would like to participate in the Santa Claus Parade should see Mrs. Waters for a permission form and will need to meet at the school by 12:00 pm Saturday, November 17th. Please make sure to dress warmly. With appreciation, Jill Maar Derek Totten Pat Best Diane Carlson Principal Vice Principal Admin Assistant Admin Assistant
