Good Morning Parkinson Centennial Families,
We hope you had a wonderful weekend with your friends and family. Student’s will be happy to hear that the playground is open this week. The schedule has been shared with staff. We will monitor the weather and status of the playground for rainy days and close the playground accordingly.
For students Grade 2-8, who are participating in Bike Roadeo, please note that practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays starting on April 22 until May 29. Practice will be held at first recess. Remember to bring your helmet.
Each spring, schools in the UGDSB will participate in 3 fire drills, and we will look to schedule them in the month of May.
Field Trips/Volunteers: If you are interested in volunteering at the school either in the Library, with a classroom or on a field trip, we encourage you to get your Vulnerable Sector Check. This can take some time to process and we recommend doing it now so you can have your VSC for upcoming spring trips.
Volunteers Needed: We are continuing to look for adult volunteers to help in the library. If you have submitted a Vulnerable Sector Check to the office and are looking for an opportunity to be present in the school more, please consider volunteering to shelve books in the library. Timing and schedule are highly flexible with no limits on minimum or maximum hours of availability. If you are interested please reach out to Ms. Kaufman at sara.kaufman@ugdsb.on.ca or stop by the office to schedule training.
