K-9 Police Dog Visit to School
In the morning of Monday, June 20th, we will have a retired police dog and handler visiting our school. They will be doing a presentation on how dogs help police investigations as part of the grade 6 science curriculum. We wanted to make any students with allergies or sensitivities to dogs aware. The dog will be limited to the Grade 5/6 pod and the LC6LL classroom. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the office.
National Indigenous History Month
June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, and we recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21. These are great opportunities to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples, and to learn about their histories, cultures, and ways of life.

Please ask your child to check the lost and found tables in the hallway as well as the boot rooms for any items that belong to them that they may have misplaced. These items will be donated at the end of the week.
Hot Lunch Update
On June 24, Grade 7s are at Chickakoo Lake. Hot lunch will be moved to June 22 for grade 7s only.
Responsible Technology Use at School and Beyond
Parkland School Division and Greystone School support and encourage the use of technology to enhance and facilitate learning. Our goal is to ensure that student interaction with technology contributes positively to the learning environment at school and in the community. We ask that students use their technology responsibly, and follow the instructions of the staff, for both school-owned and personal devices. Cell phones and other personal electronics should not be used during class time. As we head into the summer check out these media/tech tips https://mediasmarts.ca/parents

Having fun together and doing things together helps you to build a strong relationship with your children and helps create great memories.
