Skating Information for Next Week.

The first week of skating is fast approaching and here are some tidbits of information.

1) Share the skating schedule  - it has been finalized and it's always nice if volunteers know when they are to be at the rink.  Skate tying help is strongly encouraged as it helps get your kids onto the ice that much faster.

Here is a shareable link  that will give you access to the skating schedule without needing a password or approval:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pnr6rvawbaObBcjIHDOYY2dtfoAjow1m5to9L4DL9vE/edit?usp=sharing

2) Students need to wear CSA approved helmets - ie. hockey helmets (need a full cage if they are wanting to play shinny), downhill skiing helmets, horseback riding helmets - Absolutely NO BIKE HELMETS will be allowed.

3) School skates/helmets - The school does have skates and helmets that can be borrowed by students should they find they do not have skates that fit or a helmet meeting the CSA requirement.

4) Jackets on! All students must wear their outdoor  jackets while skating...really trying to limit the amount of runny noses and sick kids that follow a week of 45 minute periods of students skating around in shirts or hoodies.  Gloves/mitts are a must - they keep fingers warm and offer a bit of protection from falls etc!  Ski pants are also encouraged, especially with the younger skaters.

5) Supervision - For all skating periods all classes must be able to provide at least 1 on ice supervisor (teacher or chaperone) and 1 off ice supervisor (teacher or chaperone).


If you have any questions, please contact me directly.

Looking forward to skating!

We had an awesome presentation from the Lord Strathcona's Mounted Regiment.  I actually took a few pictures, and will be sharing them with you (In random order -ask your student to order them).  The first part of the presentation was a classroom section where a member of the Regiment came into our classroom and spoke to the students.  He then answered questions the students asked.  After that, we went outside to see the trailer the horses travel in while on the road as well as ask a few more questions of the Members at that location.  We ended by watching the Musical Ride.  What an experience!  Please ask your child about his or her thoughts as you are winding down tonight.
