Hello BelPark families,
We are all excited for this week's return to school starting tomorrow.
Kindergarten will be the only grade with staggered entry.
Tomorrow morning staff will be wearing orange vests and teachers will have their class lists ready with their names on the back of their clipboards so that you can easily see who they are. Additional staff will be out to support.
Bussing: Bus students will have their Bus letter written on the back of their hand as they get off the bus and will hand sanitize as they enter the school. This should enable them to remember which bus they need to be on at the end of the day.
We will have 4 buses this year; A, B, C, D.
Parents should access the 'My bus stop app' code via the MyCBE Account under 'Bus routes and stops'. This code will enable you to access real time bus tracking and information regarding the location and any delays that might occur. To download the app please access through the CBE website:

Kindergarten students on the bus will be escorted to the South doors until they are comfortable doing so.
When you drop your child to school please continue to observe social distance protocols, and students must wear a mask on entering the building unless they have a medical exemption form completed.
Please ensure your child has the following: indoor shoes, spare masks in Ziploc bag, as well as a water bottle, small bottle of hand sanitizer, spare clothing (all clearly labelled with your child's name – Mabel's labels fund raiser is great for this! The link is below.
Our School Spirit Wear store is open – it will be closed September 21, with delivery during the week of Oct 12.

Your child will receive Welcome information, the 2021-22 school calendar and the Covid checklist on their first day back. During the following week, students will be bringing a school package home. The pink and lilac forms will need to be signed and returned to school asap.
Please be aware parents are not permitted to use the car park to drop off or pick up students during peak times. Please be sure to read our traffic safety protocols via the following link to our website.
