Suncrest Division 12

Good morning families,

Tomorrow (Wednesday June 21) is National Indigenous People’s Day!

We are encouraging our school community (staff and students) to wear orange tomorrow.

We will also write this note in our planners.

Thank you!

Ms. Toor

Good morning families,

Below is some information for our walking field trips, Suncrest Water Park Day and Sports Day which is this Friday (tomorrow)!

Walking Field Trips:

I double checked with Mr. LaPlante and other staff who are going to the park. As we are walking to and from both parks we will not be needing a permission form for Central Park and David Grey Park. Right now we have enough parents for each trip and if you are available and wanting to join us please let me know as we would love to have you join us! 

Below is the information again for each trip:

 Central Park Primary Walking Field Trip

• Friday June 23 (All Day)-Volunteers please be at the school for 9:15am

David Grey Park Walking Field Trip with Ms. Silva’s Class

• Tuesday June 27 (9:45-12:30pm)- Volunteers please be at the school for 9:30am 

Please ensure your child has the following for both days in their backpack that they are able to carry on their own:

• Come to school wearing their swim suit (there are no change rooms at the park or at the school to change)
• Wear appropriate shoes for walking (bring sandals in backpack) 
• Towel (to dry off or to sit on)
• Water bottle 
• Snack and lunch 
• Suncreen and Hat

Suncrest Water Park (Thursday June 22)

On Thursday June 22 our class has a time slot for Suncrest Water Park at 1:40pm-2:20pm.

Please have your child come to school in their swimsuit underneath their clothes as there is no change room at school or at the park. After the water park students will dry off as much as they can in the sun before coming back into the school.

Along with wearing their swimsuit please have your child bring:

• a towel
• suncreen and hat
• water shoes for the park

**If students do not want to go into the water there is the playground and other activities during that time at the park**

Sports Day Friday June 16 (wear your house team colour)

This Friday is Suncrest’s Sports Day! We are looking forward to having families join us again for this event! Please meet Division 12 on the field for the Bike Parade which is the first event at 9:20am. Please ensure your child has a water bottle for the day as we will be rotating from station to station.

Good morning Families!

We are wrapping up the year with two walking field trips in June.

One will be to Central park on Friday June 23rd and one will be to David Gray Park on Tuesday June 27.

Central Park will be an all day trip and I am still putting the times together for David Gray.

I would like to know as soon as possible as both trips involve walking and I do need extra bodies to go off site.

Extra adults would help ensure our safety while walking to the parks, extra supervision during activities and supervision to and from the washrooms.

Please let me know if you can volunteer through email if you can join us for one or both of those days.

Thank you in advance.

Ms. Toor

Good morning families!

Was so nice seeing all of you yesterday afternoon and evening for our student-led conferences.

A reminder that today is an early dismissal at 2pm. 

Below is some information for the month and upcoming dates:

Book Fair

Next week is the Scholastic Book fair at Suncrest. It will run on Monday May 8, Wednesday May 10 and Thursday May 11. Our class will be going to visit during our Library time (Wednesday May 10). It will also be open after school (until 4pm) for families to accompany their children to purchase books and other items the book fair has to offer.

There will be two options for book fair this year:

Option 1: If you are planning on sending your child with money to school on the day there is library (Wednesday May 10) please bring the money in an envelope or bag with your child’s name and amount on the front as I will keep all money locked up until our time to visit the book fair.

Option 2: As our class is still learning the value of money I highly recommend browsing the online catalogue prior to the book fair to either purchase books or decide which books your family is interested in purchasing at the book fair.

Here is the link to browse the catalogue and make purchases:
