Important Information

·          Please, to avoid any discomfort in case of washroom accidents, send in your child’s backpack an extra change of clothes in a plastic bag. The bag will remain in your child’s backpack and it will be used only when needed. If your child is not able to change independently we will be calling you to come to school and change him/her. Please understand, that is part of our policy.

·          Please be advised that St. Jude's is a nut free facility. When purchasing items for your child's lunch, please read the packages carefully. If the label says, "may contain nuts", please refrain from sending that item. Look for products with the nut-free label.

·          Please remember that your child will need to bring 2 pairs of indoor shoes: 1 pair of black dress shoes and 1 pair of indoor running shoes. These shoes will remain at school. If you child cannot tie laces on his/her own, please send in slip-on or velcro shoes. Please label your child's shoes. Children often have the same or very similar shoes.

·          For hygiene purposes your child’s bottle of water will be sent home everyday to be washed and returned.

 

·          Please read and sign your child’s agenda everyday. Students need to bring their agendas back and forth to school each day.

·          Each day a different child will be the Special Helper of the day. The Special Helper will be the line leader, will help lead the calendar routine and is in charge of any special errands for the teacher.

·          Starting second week of school (Sept. 12), every Friday five students will be asked to bring in an object that begins with the letter of the week (i.e .if the letter of the week is “Cc”, then the child might bring in a car). Your child will be assessed on their listening skills and speaking in front of an audience.

·          Please be advised that reading homework will start on Monday, Sept. 15^th. I’ll be sending more information in the first week of school.

·          In regards to class field trips, if you are interested in participating, please let me know as we rotate parents throughout the school year.

·          In order to keep our cubby area nice and tidy, I need your help on the following: take home your child's toys everyday. Make sure your child's shoes (Gym + black shoes) are neatly put away everyday in the cubby.
