EDC Update

October 7, 2019

Dressing for the Weather

Looks like we are heading back into some cold and snowy weather.   Please remember to always dress your child for the weather.   We only have access to the gym once a week.  In order to provide much needed physical exercise to our EDC students, we will be going outside even on cold days. 

Students need to have:  Warm winter boots, coat, snow pants, mittens (NOT gloves) and a hat.

Picture Day

Royal Oak School will be having Picture Day on Thursday, October 10^th.   EDC will be the first group to have their individual photos taken.  Class pictures will be taken later in the year.

Please make sure students arrive on time so we can get through the line quickly.

Photo proof packages will be sent home about a week or so after photos are taken. They offer many different packages to suit all budgets.  Purchase of photos is completely optional.

Literacy Night

Royal Oak School Disciplinary Literacy Night

Thursday October 17^th 6pm – 7pm

Students and their families are invited to our Disciplinary Literacy Night on October 17th from 6 pm - 7 pm. Come see how literacy lives in the disciplines as your child takes you through hands-on activities in the role of a scientist, author, illustrator, entomologist, environmental geologist, and musician. All family members are welcome!

Halloween 2019

Royal Oak School is excited to invite students to wear their Halloween costumes on October 31, 2019.   Please have students come dressed in their costumes.   If your child requires a little support with buttons or zippers, EDC staff are happy to support them, particularly in the washroom.

We ask that costumes do not include: masks, weapons, accessories, or blood/gore. 

Regular learning activities will continue throughout the day. Students will get the opportunity to share their costumes with each other by participating in a parade in the halls at 9:30 am. This year, parents are invited to watch the parade in the gym.  Please arrive a few minutes early to find a seat.  The PM EDC class will have their own parade with Kindergarten classrooms in the afternoon.

In keeping with learning about healthy eating, please only send a snack for your child as usual. 

EDC staff will provide a healthy, special snack to share.  

Remember:  Halloween candy and treats are best enjoyed at home. 

Please do not send them to school as they often present a challenge for other students.

 We look forward to seeing all of your costumes!
