Student Reunification & Student Information Verification Forms: Early this week, your student will bring home Student Reunification Form and Student Information Verification Form. These should be completed and returned to school by Friday, October 9th. These forms provide important emergency contact and student information and help us ensure our records are accurate and up to date. Instructions for the green Reunification form are on the back side of the paper. Please return the blue Student Information Verification form signed whether you have updated information or not. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.

 
 

Extra-Curricular Activities: Now that we have a few weeks under our belt, we have a lot of our extra curricular activities and sports up and running. Please be sure to check the schedule below and encourage your child to try one of these great clubs or look to start one of their own.

 
 

Indigo Adopt a School Fundraiser: Gordie Howe's fundraiser ends this weekend, October 4th and we are happy to report that both the Nelson and Sevenoaks Coles' Stores have exceeded their goals. They project to raise $2,000.00 for our school library. Thank you, families and Indigo!
