We are getting ready for the move to our new school. It is lovely and very exciting but we will need your cooperation to be successful.
I am setting two half days to help us get organized in the new rooms.
Primary will have an early release day on Friday, February 23. They will be dismissed at 11:30. Lunch will NOT be served. There will be no child care (Kid’s Club) available that day. Students can NOT go to P6 to wait for their siblings. All children must be picked up at 11:30am.
Discovery will have an early release day on Wednesday, February 28. They will be dismissed at 11:00. There will be no study club or after school care (Kid’s Club) available that day. All students must be picked up.
We are attempting to give you as much notice as possible although of course these dates are subject to change if there are any construction delays!
Also notice that car line will be changing once we move to the location on Mae Street and of course new things will require some patience and understanding, but we will be up and running well soon. Please be kind and patient as we adjust. It will be well worth it.
The kitchen is being remodeled in the next phase, so lunches will be different and easier to prepare. This will mean we may have more pizza days or “bag lunch” days. Again this will be for the next phase and then we will be back in full swing. It will require your understanding and patience as well.
We have a super group of parents, students and staff and together we can make this move easy and wonderful if we all work together.

Sick Students
Just a reminder…please does not send your child to school until he/she has been 24 hours fever free. We continue to have kids tell us his/her parent gave them fever reducing medication that morning before school.
If your child is suffering from fever, body aches, sore throat and or continues coughing he or she is most likely contagious and we really ask that you keep your sick children home for his/her recovery and to reduce the risk of spreading this illness.

This week on TK island we had a blast celebrating our 100th day of school! The little fishes came dressed up as old people, including their extremely old teachers. They had a hundred-day snack, made hats, played bingo, did plenty of counting to 100. The little fishes brought mystery bags full of 100 items and gave clues to help us figure what was in the bag. They finished the day with a scavenger hunt of 100 items. We had so much fun celebrating being 100 days smarter
