Carson Grove ES News Update - Week of October 14th
We have now been back at school for a well over a month. It’s amazing to see how well our students have done with the new routines. Many of them are experts! Way to go! Students who moved to new classes this week are also settling in nicely. Our students do a wonderful job when welcoming other students who join their classes for the first time!
It was nice to see so many families out for the Meet the Staff evening last Wednesday. Thank you again to Ottawa City Councillor Tim Tierney and his team for the hot dog BBQ! There were a lot of smiles and bucket loads of ketchup used!
Congratulations to our Junior Cross Country team who represented Carson Grove very well at last week’s regional meet! A big thank you to Ms. Rooke, Ms. Langdon, Ms. Jenny, and the community volunteers who supported the team on Thursday!
No School on Monday, October 14th - Thanksgiving Holiday
For all families who celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend, we hope that you have a very Happy Thanksgiving! There is no school on Monday. We will see everyone back on Tuesday, October 15th.
Halloween / Wear Black and Orange Day at Carson Grove - Thursday, October 31st
Here is how we’re celebrating Halloween / Black and Orange Spirit Day at Carson Grove:
-
Students should come to school wearing their costumes.
-
Keep costumes simple and be sure that they can be taken on and off independently. For example, the one piece jumpsuit-style costumes are very challenging for students to remove when going to the washroom, especially for our youngest students.
-
Instead of wearing a costume, wear orange and/or black if a costume is “too much for school” or if your family does not dress in costumes for Halloween
-
Incorporate daily use face masks into costume designs
-
Leave extra costume accessories at home. Items that need to be held in a hand or worn on heads, including full masks, are a bit too much for school.
-
As a Kindergarten to grade 5 school, we ask that very scary costumes or makeup should only be worn at home in the evening.
-
Be allergy aware. Please do not send in class treats or goody bags for classmates. The gesture is appreciated, but these items from home are not permitted at school.
Please contact the office or your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
