OOki, Tansi, Umba-wathtich, Danita ada, Aanii, Hello PFS Families and Caregivers,

A reminder for parents that there is no school on Friday, October 25 as all Calgary Board of Education teachers and staff will be engaged in professional learning.

PFS staff and students have many fun activities and opportunities coming up in the next few weeks. Some of our classes are going to the Calgary Zoo, others have special guests and events coming to the school. Make sure to check your child’s classroom newsletters to learn more about the events occurring each week.

Please make sure to let the office know if you are picking students up at the end of the day, and also to check in with Ms. Jodie or Ms. Jacqueline on the lawn before taking your children from the school grounds—this helps us to safely connect parents/caregivers with students. If you are picking children up instead of putting them on the bus, please let the office know prior to 2:00pm so that we can ensure that bus supervisors and drivers aren’t looking for these students or waiting to leave—this helps our afternoon bus routes leave the school on time.

Hand to Heart,

Crystal Good Rider and Shauna Penner
