Welcome!

Dear Parents and Guardians;

I would like to take the time to welcome you, and your child to a new school year.  Kindergarten is a fun and exciting time for everyone involved.  I am very happy to be at Capilano Elementary and have enjoyed spending time with your child during their first week of school.

I would like to thank you all for supporting my instructions when dropping off and picking up your child.  this has definitely helped with your child's transition to full-day kindergarten.  Just a reminder all students and parents are asked to enter the school no earlier than 8:45 and please say your good-byes outside of the classroom.  At the end of the day I will walk the children to the front of the school and stay with them until a parent/guardian arrives.  Once your child is in school for the full-day, pick-up is a 3pm (2pm Wednesdays) at the front entrance of the school.

I would also appreciate if children could bring a pair of 'indoor' shoes for the classroom.  Cubbies are provided outside of the classroom for 'outdoor' shoes, labeled with each student's name.

I believe nutrition is very important for student's success in school.  Please pack nutritious snacks such as water, fruit and vegetables, as well as protein based foods like yogurt and cheese.  These foods provide your child the necessary focus and energy for their busy day.  Capilano does ask that no 'sweet treats' be brought to the school and their is also aiming for student's to bring a 'litterless' lunch, so please consider this when packing your child's lunch. 

*Please let me know if your child has any dietary concerns.

I look forward to getting to know your child throughout the year.  Please feel free to contact me via e-mail at wrogers@nvsd44.bc.ca.

*Could any parents who have not yet read and filled out school forms please get them in as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Wendy Rogers
