Dear Families,
Cree 8 Residency
A special thank you to Chantal Chagnon who supported all students this week with medicine teachings, as well as smudging protocols. All students were able to attend her workshop, and we appreciate her time at Midnapore School. On February 18, we welcome Chantal back to as we move forward with drumming. Our students can’t wait!
We apologize for the postponement of our assembly this week as we are still without heat in the gym. We are hopeful to have heat restored in the very near future so our students can share their learnings with all of you. We will keep you posted if we're able to move forward with this special assembly. The tentative date for our assembly is February 21, at 10:30 am.
Love at Midnapore School
We are excited to share that next week is a time that staff and students will celebrate and acknowledge how much we appreciate each other. Our Grade 6 team is coordinating a school wide “Love-Gram” project where any student can send a kind message to any student or staff in the building. This fundraiser is to help our Grade 6 students go to camp at the end of the year. Messages cost .25 cents and will be distributed on Wednesday, February 12. If you’re able to send your child with $.25 we will make sure their messages are delivered. If you are unable to send money, we will make sure your child still has an opportunity to share.
Grade 5’s Displaying Humility
Additionally, we have some amazing Grade 5 students who are displaying humility on this day and are looking to sell their own earrings and stress ball items. If you are interested in purchasing these items, they can also be sent along with their kind message. These funds will also be donated to our Grade 6 camp fundraiser. We are very appreciative of the hard work our Grade 5 & 6 students have done.
Weather Reminder
Parents, please remember that students require hats and gloves as we go outside daily. We have a limited supply to give when students forget.
New Grade 4 Teacher
We are excited to share that we have hired a new Grade 4 teacher who will pair with Ms. Alexander. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Mei Poi who will be supporting in this classroom in the afternoons until the end of the year. Welcome to Midnapore School!
Kindergarten Registration Opens
Please note that kindergarten registration opened Monday, January 13. Please don’t hesitate to contact the school 403-777-8680 if you require any support.
To register please visit Student Registration and follow the steps based on your child.
Office Request
If you are making alternate arrangements for pick up, please inform the office as soon as possible and give instructions to have the pick up location at the office. We have recently experienced parents phoning at the bell or just before to give directions. We would appreciate it if you could let us know as soon as possible if there are changes to their dismissal plan.
Thank you
Also, there is NO Energy Club on Fridays.
Absence Line
Please leave your child’s teacher’s name, class number, spell your child’s first and last names clearly and reason for the absence.
Fees
On February 26, 2025, all the grade 3 and 4 classes will be attending the Brave Hitmen game at the Scotiabank Saddledome. This fee is now posted on your account.
Lates
We are experiencing many late comers every morning. We urge you to try your best to come to school on time as much learning starts immediately after the bell rings. If you are going to be late and you leave a message please leave your child’s teacher’s name, room number and spell your child’s first and last names clearly and reason for the lateness.
