Important Information

Volunteer Tea

We will be hosting our Volunteer Tea on May 24 at 2:00pm. Please check your email for the electronic invitation. If you have volunteered with us and have the ability to come so we can honour you, please reply to the Evite with your RSVP.

Kindergarten Orientation

We will be hosting our Kindergarten Orientation on June 8th in the evening. We will be splitting the evening into 2 sections to allow for a personalized session. If you have an incoming Kindergarten student, or know someone who does, please save the date. An email invitation with more information will be coming out next week.

Grade 6 Farewell Celebration

Our Grade 6 celebration will be on June 29 at 1:30pm. All Grade 6 families are welcome to attend this farewell. We recognize that this is the last day of school and it may be difficult for some families; however, with the Alberta Provincial Achievement Test schedule going as late as it does, we were very limited in dates that worked.

Please watch for more information in the coming weeks.

From the Library

We have a large number of overdue books out in the community. We are asking all families to please take a look around your homes for any books from the school library. Mrs. Jackson, our Library Assistant, will be sending out invoices to those students whose books have been outstandingly overdue.

All books and fees will need to be returned by June 16 as we start to do inventory for the end of the year.

Freezie Sales

We will be selling freezies at recess on Fridays to support the Grade 6 Farewell Celebration. The cost will be $2.00 each for a large freezie. Please support the Grade 6’s if you are able. Thank you to those who have already donated freezies for this event. Donations of large freezies can be dropped off at the office and are greatly appreciated. Thank you to those who have already brought some in. We substituted popsicles for some students as we sold out and the freezies that we had purchased pre- frozen were not solid. We hope to have freezies for everyone next week.

From our School Council

Next Meeting

Our next School Council meeting is Thursday, June 1 at 6:30pm in the Music Room. Grade 3 & PE teachers will be presenting.

Popcorn Day is June 15.

Our last popcorn day of the year is on June 15. All proceeds from this popcorn sale will go to support the Grade 6 Farewell Celebration. Popcorn is available for purchase on the Healthy Hunger website at www.healthyhunger.ca until June 10. Please support the Grade 6 classes if you are able.

This will also be our last Spirit Day of the year. The Grade 4s survey has us hosting Outside Day. We will be encouraging outdoor learning all day long on this day!

Casino Fundraiser

It looks like all specific positions have been filled!! We are still needing people to sign- up as back-up volunteers though. These people will only be called in the event that someone is not able to fulfill their planned role. Back up positions can be chosen at the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/ACA388085

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has stepped up to support Chaparral School with this fundraiser. It is the biggest fundraiser that the School Council does and it so valuable to our students. We are so very appreciative.

Weekly Mantra

I Am A Creator (SEL Competency: Self-Awareness)

Being a creator is being open to possibility. It is working to push yourself to step outside your comfort zone, and it is experimenting with something new. When you feel stuck, it is important to remember that you are not alone, and that ruts are temporary. Spark your imagination, because everything that you can imagine you can create!
