We hope all families had a wonderful weekend!
A few reminders for this week and upcoming:
The kiss n ride is for quick drop offs. Please don’t park here and walk your child in as by-law comes around and tickets and we are asked to ensure it is used only for drop off and pick up. If you need to park, please park in the side lot on Mary Street or the area near the baseball diamond.
Reorganization: We have had a great start to the school year and we have no re-organization of classes. This is wonderful news!
Tues Sept 15th: School council meeting in our library from 6:00-7:00 and elections for council positions will start our meeting. Any interested parents who would like to get involved to support our school with our educational initiatives are welcome to attend. If you are interested in helping with food programs, please let us know. We are also looking for a reliable lunch supervisor to support students in the classroom and on the yard at breaks. This is a paid position with training provided and you must love working with children.
Friday Sept 18th: Terry Fox walk-donations are on schoolcashonline.com. Students from grade 3 and up will be walking through the conservation area with their class frpm 11:15-12:30pm. Students are encouraged to wear their school colours navy and yellow/school spirit wear t-shirts and running shoes and dress for the weather. Kindergarten and grade 1/ 2 will be doing their own shorter walk around the school area.
Our RCPS grade 6-8 Choir will be singing O’Canada at the Guelph Storm game on Friday September 25th!
Watch as the Storm take on the Oshawa Generals for just $21.00 AND with every paid ticket $4.00 goes back to our choir! Tickets are on sale now on schoolcashonline.com for all RCPS families. Come on out and support our choir! As this is not a school trip, but a community event, Parents/Guardians are responsible for supervising their children at the game as well as organizing transportation, to and from the game. Choir t-shirts are also available for purchase for grade 6-8 choir members on school cash online. T-shirt orders due
Open house is planned for Thursday, Sept 24th from 5:30-7:00 and we look forward to meeting all families and having you see your child’s class and meet the amazing RCPS staff!

With the return to school this fall we encourage students to use safe routes to school when walking or 'wheeling' to and from school. We are sharing the following information regarding e-scooters and e-bikes for awareness.
Reminder: E-Scooters and E-Bikes
Please note, e-scooters and e-bikes are not permitted on school property for students under the age of 16. This is in line with Ontario legislation which prohibits the use of e-scooter and e-bikes for youth under 16 years old. E-scooters and e-bikes are not permitted to be stored inside school buildings. Students are welcome to ride standard bikes or scooters to and from school, always wearing a helmet and following road safety rules.
