Week at a Glance January 4 – 8

Dear DG Families,

Happy New Year to everyone!

 

We had the pleasure of welcoming many new staff throughout the first term.  For an updated list of our staff, please see our staff list.

 

Daily Health Check

Please ensure that you are completing the daily health check for your child(ren) prior to sending them to school.  If your child needs to be absent from school, please call the school at 604-581-6185 to let us know.

Rainy and Cold Weather

Just a reminder that as the weather gets cold and wet, please make sure that kids come dressed appropriately for the outdoors in all sorts of weather (eg. jacket, waterproof/water resistant footwear, hat, gloves, etc…) Please expect that kids will go out for recess and lunch, unless there is extreme weather.

VERY IMPORTANT – As we are unable to accept mid-day drop offs of items from home (including dry clothes), all students (even Grade 7s!) are required to have a spare change of clothes (socks, pants, T-shirt) at school.  Spare clothing should be in a ziploc bag, labeled with your child’s name .  

Masks

For the safety of everyone in our school community,  we are encouraging parents/guardians to wear a mask when you are coming to drop off or pick up your children from our school.

The CDC recommends that people wear masks in public settings and when around people who don’t live in your household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

When coming to school, please ensure you are standing at least 6 feet/2 meters away from others.   That’s more space than you might think.  We know keeping your distance is tough (especially given how friendly, welcoming and all around awesome our DG school community is!), it’s hard not to stand together and visit.   But right now, we cannot.   The most caring thing we can do for one another is to take a step back and make sure we’re all keeping a safe distance from one another (waving is encouraged!)

Entry and Exit Times

In case a reminder is needed, here are the entry and exit times for our divisions this year.

  • Morning Entry at 8:45 a.m.
  • Dismissal at 2:55 p.m. (Wednesdays at 1:40 p.m.)

Food and Water

Food & Water – Please ensure your child brings sufficient water for the day (minimum, 1 full water bottle).  Bottle refill stations are available at the school but the drinking fountains have been turned off.

NO MID DAY LUNCH DROP OFF – Students must also bring their snacks and lunches with them in the morning  as lunch drop offs at school will not be permitted. Should a student forget his/her lunch, they will not go hungry. We will have some food supplies on hand for emergencies.
