Important update #1: Unity/Field Day Moved: https://www.smore.com/p32z9
Important update #2: Spitfire Track Meet PPD: https://www.smore.com/hrx41
Dear Caregivers,
Late this morning, we received notification from the Director of Health Services that the air quality index was in the “unhealthy” range. This notification came after this morning’s assembly. We were given a directive to hold all activities this afternoon indoors. To be proactive to create a plan which would allow our students to engage in Unity Day activities to the fullest extent possible, we worked with the Director of Health Services who advised us to reschedule tomorrow’s event. Unfortunately, the weather over the next few days is also not looking ideal for an outdoor event. Our Unity Day Committee is hard at work planning an alternate day for our students, so they do not lose out on the opportunity. On Monday, we will have Unity Day activities rain or shine. To do this, some changes needed to be made, which has resulted in us no longer requiring the assistance of volunteers. Based on planning for rain or shine, we need to consider the space available in the building to safely hold events. We understand it is disappointing that parents and caregivers will not be able to participate, however our priority is to ensure our students get to engage in a fun and safe experience with their classmates. We appreciate your understanding and support.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Flanaghan, Principal
