Parent-teacher conferences are currently being scheduled for the evening of Novem-ber 14th to provide you the opportunity to arrange a meeting with your child(ren)’s teacher. A letter was sent home earlier this week seeking your preference of times to meet. Please return to your child’s teacher the slip indicating your preference for times to meet This is the perfect time to set goals with your child for the remainder of this term. Post the goals in a visible spot such as on the fridge. Working together as a collaborative team will allow us to best support your child’s learning needs.

Start your child's day off by coming to breakfast club ever Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:25am-

8:50am. This is our fourth year providing Breakfast club here at the school and it’s well established and very

popular. There is a great atmosphere and is a place where children can meet with their friends before school

and enjoy a healthy breakfast together. You can drop your children off anytime after 8:25 am and we close

breakfast club promptly at 8:50am. Looking forward to seeing some new and familiar faces this coming year

Cross Country

Glendale Library Looking for Outdoor chair cushions!

Hey families....the new floor of our school library looks amazing! With the carpet gone, Mrs. Perry is

looking for donations of outdoor square chair cushions to be used for seating

in the library. Any colour (please no white) of cushion is happily accepted. Please only donate "SQUARE" cushions so they can be easily stacked when not any use.

The Jr/Inter choir has started! We are practicing songs for the Glendale Remembrance Day Assembly and for the Glendale Christmas Concert. There is still time to join. If you are interested come see Mrs. Perry.

Junior/Intermediate Choir

We would like to build a large outdoor sandbox in our kindergarten play area. Donations of four 12 foot lengths of pressure lumber and four 4 foot lengths of pressure treated lumber is needed for this project. We are also looking for a piece of landscaping fabric for the bottom of the sandbox (to keep the weeds from growing up and the sand from falling out). Any handymen available to help would also be amazing! Please contact any of the kinder teachers or Mrs. Perry if you are able to make a do-nation of materials or time.

Help Needed for a Kindergarten Outdoor Sandbox!

Breakfast Club

All families are welcome to join us as we recognize Remembrance Day.

There may be times during the school year where it may be necessary to cancel student

transportation due to adverse weather conditions.

NSTS gathers information on road and weather conditions from a wide variety of

sources, including Environment Canada, the bus companies, various municipal and re-

gional agencies and from staff performing checks on selected routes to experience the road conditions first hand.

NSTS considers the actual weather conditions, the forecasted weather and the projected impact on road conditions

during the peak student transportation windows. Once all available information has been collected and reviewed, and

it is determined that students cannot be safely transported to school, or home from school at the end the day, the deci-

sion to cancel student transportation is made by NSTS.

Every attempt is made to provide the public with information on bus cancellations by 6:00 a.m. The announcement will

be posted on the front page of the NSTS website, as well as on the website and social media of DSBN and Niagara Cath-

olic. Local radio and television stations are also notified to disseminate this information to the public.

The School Board's Director of Education makes the decision to cancel schools. School closure information is an-

nounced in the manner outlined above.

Please note that parents and/or guardians make the final decision on whether or not to send their child to school in

inclement weather conditions. Websites: www.dsbn.org, www.nsts.ca
