Updates and Reminders - September 19th

Thank you for taking the time to join us at the Open House and Welcome Back Picnic.  

Photo Day was scheduled last year and, unfortunately, we have discovered that it has landed on a holiday for some of our families. We have changed it to October 19th.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Our apologies for the confusion.

Please bring back verification and permission forms as soon as possible.  It is essential we have accurate contact information for everyone.  If you want to receive emails from the school please ensure your email address is also included.  

We would appreciate receiving the $7 for agendas, if you are able, by September 23rd.  

A friendly reminder about drop offs:  The staff parking area is not for drop off or pick up.  Apart from us having assigned parking, it is not safe to use.  Please use the church parking lot as they have kindly allowed us this to ensure that students are dropped off safely.  On the Lockhart St. side of things, please be mindful of parking restrictions as they are also in place to ensure student safety and we also don't want our community having to pay costly parking fines.  

Absence or lates - Please call 613-722-4474 or Email woodroffepsstudentabsence@ocdsb.ca

On a personal note, thank you for the kind welcomes and introductions over the past few weeks.  I am thrilled to be a part of the Woodroffe community and look forward to working with you all throughout the year.  If you have suggestions, questions or concerns please feel free to drop in, call or email me at: megan.egerton@ocdsb.ca.

Reminders and Information

Another year at Woodroffe has begun with new and old faces.  Tomorrow we welcome the first group of kindergarten students into the school.  All staff have worked incredibly hard over the summer to ensure that their classrooms and programs are the best they can be for your children.  It is an exciting time for students, parents and staff too!

* Forms to complete will be sent home all this week - please check your child's backpack each day

* Students in grades 1-6 are asked to bring in $7 to cover the cost of agendas 

* A calendar for September and October will be coming home tomorrow in backpacks

Yearbook Update

This message is for all Woodroffe families who pre-ordered a yearbook - on behalf of the Woodroffe School Council.

Due to the defective binding, please note that ALL yearbooks have been re-printed and will be distributed on Thursday, June 30th.  If your child will not be at school on the last day, we will keep their yearbook for them until September or arrangements can be made for pick up over the summer.

We apologize for the delay in distributing the yearbooks and realize that it has been a frustrating process.  We are confident that the new copy will be more securely bound and a wonderful keepsake for students for many years to come.

We thank you for your understanding!
