Dear Northwest Families,
Temperatures are going to be dropping soon, but we will still be trying to give the students as much time outside as possible. When the temperatures do drop, please send your child with a jacket, hat, and pair of gloves/mittens every day - and a change of clothes if they are prone to getting wet or dirty during play. It also really helps if you label your child’s belongings with their name. Oftentimes, we are able to return lost items before they enter the Lost and Found bin.
Speaking of play, we are seeing a small increase in playground issues. Please help us by talking to your student about appropriate behavior at recess. This can include exhibiting sportsmanship during team sports, checking the Buddy Bench for a student looking for a friend, using equipment appropriately, and informing lunch supervisors of any major concerns.
All in all, thank you for your continued support!!
Yours in education,
Craig Munro
Principal
