Dear Parents,
Welcome back. We have lots of snow in the yard and we just want to
remind you that students need to have the proper clothing for going out at
recess and lunch. Students need snow pants, hats and mitts. We ask you to do us
a really big favour and put your child’s name
in their snow pants as all the snow pants look the same and when they go
missing it is easy to locate them.
ROMERO HOUSE- Our
Christmas concert was a huge success. We were able to give Romero House a cheque for $1270.85. They really appreciated this donation
from us.
FAMILY TIME- Families
that play together develop wonderful communication skills. Try to set aside
some time each week to play a family game together. We are all so busy that we
don’t always make time to do something together. Take the time as it can
make a difference in the long run and provides an opportunity to know your
child better.

children.
STORM DAYS and LATE
BUSSES- Please listen to the radio in the morning as late busses are announced
as soon as the information is available. School cancellation is usually made by
6 AM. Sometimes school is closed part way through the day. This is a
“nightmare” for us. Please discuss with your child where they would
go if they went home early and you were not there. We try to contact parents
but this is not always possible. If you have had an address change or a new
phone number since September, please provide this to the teacher or the
secretary. It is very important that you provide us with this information so we
can update our records.
READ-A-THON- We are
going to have a Read-A-Thon next month from February 1 – February 5th.
This is strictly voluntary however our goal is to promote literacy through
reading. Participants commit to read a minimum of 100 minutes over a five day
period. This is an average of 20 minutes per day. Students collect pledges from
family and friends. The school earns 50% of all pledges collected to purchase
library bound books and the students earn book points to select from a vast
offering of paperback and or library bound books for their personal book
collection. More information will follow in the next few weeks.
DISTRICT EDUCATION
“TOWN HALL” MEETINGS The District Education
Council for School District 8 will be hosting a series of "Education Town
Halls" early in the new year.
The
purpose will be to gather feedback from our various stakeholder groups on past

District 8 should be taking going forward. We will be looking for input from
PSSCs, the business community, advocacy groups, elected officials, parents, and
interested community members.

which will be drawn at the concert. We will send home one book of tickets with
each child and it is strictly voluntary whether you wish to take part in this.
We ask that you keep the sales within the families of the school so that
someone in our school community will benefit from the basket. We are asking for
contributions to the basket and suggest one item per family. There will be a
turkey and hopefully all the trimmings. Items you could send in might be
potatoes, squash, carrots, onions, canned goods and any other goodies. We will

HOT LUNCH ORDERS
– We are asking parents to do us a huge favor. Please have Hot Lunch
orders in by 10:30 every Friday morning. Late orders cannot be accepted by
Denise. We have had errors in our orders and some days not enough food has
arrived. It takes a long time to count and organize hot lunch orders. The
teachers take the orders and have the master sheet in their classroom. Please
send in the right change so that teachers do not have to try and make change to
send back home. Thank you for understanding about this matter. Macaroni and
Cheese may not be offered after Christmas as not many students are ordering
this now. Another selection will be made…possibly macaroni and hamburger.

This is just a
reminder that schools may be closed on stormy days. Please listen to the radio,
as announcements to that effect will be made on all local radio stations
beginning at 6:30. Please be on the alert for this. Also it may be necessary to
close schools early during the day. In case this should happen please make
certain that your child knows where to go should they arrive home early and
find that you are not there. This is very important that you have a discussion
regarding this matter. School was closed during the day once last year so
please make sure your child understands what they are to do if this happens.
The annual Christmas
Concert will be held on Wednesday, December 16th.
There will be two performances

10:30. We are asking that you give a donation at the door, which will be given
directly to Romero House.
All schools have their own Emergency
Plan. We have two evacuation areas arranged should we ever have to vacate the
school. We practice a Fire Drill once a month and we have a designated area
where all students meet with their teachers. This month we will be practicing a
“lock down.” We do not want to have any child upset by this but all
schools are asked to practice this in the event that one must take place.
Basically we are asking the students to gather in one corner of the room all
together. It may be helpful if you discuss this with your child. Thank you very
much for your help in this matter

PEANUT BUTTER– There are many children in our school with severe peanut
allergies. It is necessary to
impose a ban on peanut butter in sandwiches, cookies and other sweets. Thank you for your cooperation regarding
this matter. We are a PEANUT FREE
SCHOOL.
NUTRITION POLICY – The
District Education Council has developed a Nutrition Policy which was fully
implemented on January 1, 2006.
This policy ensures that all schools have a strategy to provide students
with access to healthy food choices at school. The vending machine that is in the
cafeteria is there mainly for the benefit of outside groups who use the
building and often is out of order. Please do no rely on this for drinks for
your child. Students are only
permitted to purchase the water or the 100% fruit juice. This policy is to help
students make healthy choices and they are asking that parents help with this
by thinking about
MILK PROGRAM – Chocolate
and white milk is provided at school. To keep things simple, students will pay
for their milk for the month. A separate notice is included regarding dates and
prices for the months ahead. We have to place our order on Thursdays so need to
have all money on Wednesdays. Please hold on to this notice. YOU MAY PAY FOR
LONGER PERIODS IF YOU WISH.
BUS TRANSPORTATION – The
district has changed their policy for transporting students and they will only
transport students to the same location every day. If you need a form for alternate
transportation such as pick up at your home in the morning and delivery to a
babysitter after school please ask your teacher for the Alternate
Transportation form. District Office will not allow us to accept notes from
parents requesting for the student to go to their friend’s house after
school. There are no exceptions to this rule.
PARKING – Please do not drop
off students at the front door of the school as this is the drop off for
the buses only. Please do not park on
These rules are for the safety
of your children. I thank you for your cooperation.
Teachers will ask you to move
your car if you are in violation of these rules.
SCHOOL WEB SITE – The
school has its own web site. You
can visit this at lakewoodheights.nbed.nb.ca. You will find a lot of information here
including the monthly newsletter as well as a monthly calendar.
SECRETARY’S HOURS –
Mrs. Fran Bass is our secretary.
She works 31 hours a week from 8:30 – 3:15pm each day.
RECESS AND LUNCH BREAKS –
All students are required to go outside during these times. Many times children come to school
without proper clothing on. I ask for
your help in seeing that appropriate clothing be worn to school throughout the
school year.
SICK CHILDREN – If your
child is sick and will not be in school please call us to let us know. When a child becomes ill or injured at
school we will try to make him/her comfortable and we will call you to make you
aware of the situation. You may be
asked to come and take your child home, so it is very important that the
teachers have alternate numbers for calling during these situations. The demands of the teacher make it
almost impossible to care adequately for children who are sent to school sick
so please do not send sick children to school. If your child has medical conditions
such as asthma, diabetes, severe allergies or any other conditions where special
medication is involved, please inform the school so that we can make all staff
aware.
TALK MAIL – Talk Mail will
resume as soon as the phone numbers for the new families have been entered into
the system. I cannot express how
valuable this service is to us.
This is an excellent way to stay in contact with the home at a moments
notice. I use this on a regular
basis to inform you of important matters at school. If you do not have this I strongly
encourage you to call Aliant to set this up. It costs you nothing to receive your
messages from school. We realize if you have
TERRY FOX RUN – Friday,
September 25, the children will take part in our own walk for the
PREMIER SCHOOL AGENDAS –
The lesson book is used for Grades 3, 4, & 5. The teachers find this an excellent way
to enhance communication between school and home. The cost of the book is $7.00
HOT LUNCH PROGRAM – The
Home and School looks after the Hot Lunch program at the school. It will be
offered four days a week and all orders must be placed by Friday of the
previous week. We will send home items and prices in the near future.
SCHOOL RULES – You will
see our Code of Conduct below.
Please review this with your child.
Our aim is for
Code of Conduct
I
am responsible
I
am prepared
I
am respectful
I
am safe
Please call the school if you
have any questions or concerns.
Although the teachers are not able to speak to you while they are teaching,
they will return your phone calls at the end of the day.
