Hello / Bonjour École Tuscany School families,

This week we welcomed two grade 5 classes from Brentwood School. They are a lovely group of students and we are happy to have them here. The transition went smoothly. Please keep in mind that these students still operate on the Brentwood School bell schedule. As a result, there is more traffic around the school. It is ever so important to pay attention to the posted traffic signs as to not hamper pick up and drop off.

Smoke in the air from the wildfires in Alberta present hazards for all people. Please consider the hazards of smoke, dust and other contributors to poor air quality. The Air Quality Health Index is a helpful guide to help determine the risks. Similar to inclement weather days (rain, extreme cold), we monitor the Air Quality Health Index to guide our decisions. Students are remaining indoors at this time and not going outside for recess, Phys Ed, or Daily Physical Activity.

Our English Scholastic Book Fair is this week. Students will have an opportunity to visit and to purchase books. Please connect with your classroom teacher with any questions regarding the book fair.

Late Arrival Procedure

It’s best if your child can line up at their regular entry door with their class in the morning. This allows them to participate in the regular morning entry routine. Outdoor supervision for grade 1-5 students begins at 8:15 in the morning. Please note, that supervision is around the entry doors, and the compound. There are no supervisors in the field or the community park. Please review with your child that when they hear the bell ring at 8:27am, they need to proceed to their line up right away, and should not continue playing. If your child arrives after the bell, please accompany them through the front doors and sign them in. Please do not drop off your child in the kiss n drop if you are late. Kindergarten parents/guardians are expected to stay with their child until the teacher brings them in (bussed kindergarten children are supervised).
