March 9-13:
Are you returning to us? We sure hope so!
It is that time of year again when we are already trying to do some key
planning around next year! At this time we are asking you to complete our less
than 1 minute declaration
survey to let us know if you will be returning to us or not. We thank
you in advance for letting us know this information as it allows us to pre-plan
some important aspects for our amazing school.
St. Patties day event….
We Care is excited to announce their NEXT BIG EVENT: GUESS HOW MANY LUCKY
CHARMS?? & take a pic in the Leprechaun photo booth running from March 16,
17 & 18! Guesses for the Lucky Charms are being sold for $1.00 per guess.
The Closest guess will WIN the Lucky Charms on Thursday, March 19 before
Spring Break! Pictures with Hope Bell are $2.00 per person & $5.00
per group. All money raised from both of these events will be going
towards purchasing more cows through Feed the Hungry.
New FRONT DOOR Policy
We always want to provide a warm & welcoming atmosphere here at
Belfast especially at our front door & office! However, we are finding more
and more students trying to enter the school prior to the AM Bell. We
provide supervision ONLY at the playground from 8:15 - 8:30 AM unless parents
have made specific arrangements. We are
encourage ALL students to enter the school via the playground doors as our
front lawn/front door area are not supervised. We thank you for
supporting us on this safety matter & your understanding.
Parent Teacher Conferences postponed & COVID-19
Based on the changing provincial and local response to COVID-19, the CBE
has given us direction to postpone our Parent Teacher Conferences scheduled for
March 19 and March 20.
All CBE schools have been given direction to postpone or cancel events
that include populations from other schools and/or parents or other community
members, such as Parent-Teacher Interviews, celebrations of learning,
drama/musical performances, dances, athletic competitions, etc. This decision
is effective from Mar. 12 until the end of March break. This decision will be
revisited during March break to determine whether events should be rescheduled.
Events outside of school hours that include the regular student and
staff population of the school (school clubs, practices, etc) and scheduled
field trips may continue at this time. I know this may be disappointing
news. Students and staff have spent a significant amount of time preparing for
this event, but the health of our community is our priority.
For the most up to date information about the CBE’s approach to COVID-19
and the actions we are taking, please visit our website. Answers to
frequently asked questions will continue to be posted as information becomes
available.
