Greenfield Elementary School

Here are some reminders for next week:

1.  Bike Rodeo forms were sent home last week.  It is not too late for us to send them to the Summerside Police who are organizing this great rodeo on June 30th at the CUP.  It is a great opportunity for kids to practice their bicycling skills, have a snack, and win  prizes.
2. Don’t forget to return permission forms for our field trips to Sandspit and Shining Waters.  We would like to confirm numbers.
3. Thank you to all parents who have paid school fees for next year.  The response has been great.  Please keep it coming as teachers do want to purchase these supplies over the summer.

Have a wonderful weekend! The sun has appeared!

Yes, this is our Greenfield Lost and Found!

There are many great things in there – sweaters, jackets, t-shirts, shorts, pants, water bottles, gym bags, mittens, hats…and they do belong to somebody.

If you are missing something at home, you have your son or daughter have a look or you are welcome to drop by and have a look as well.  We will be giving away any unclaimed items to a clothing collection site, so please check before school finishes on June 27th.

Here are some reminders for this week:

1.  Home and School Meeting on Tuesday, June 12th at 6:30 in the library.  Last meeting of the year and last chance to win an ice cream party for your child’s class!
2. Red Cross Water Safety will do a presentation on Wednesday, June 13 for students who are interested.
3. School Barbeque on Thursday, June 14th provided by the Consolidated Credit Union.  No need to pack a lunch on Thursday!
4. School Fees are due for the coming school year.

School Supply Fee:
We are now collecting school supply fees for the coming 2018 – 2019 school year. As our parents know, our teachers purchase all the school supplies for their classes, ensuring all students have what they need, as well doing their best to get the best possible prices.  A school agenda will need to be purchased in September.  Student only need to bring indoor shoes, a backpack, and their lunches when school begins.

The cost per student is $40.00 and a receipt will be provided.  Parents can pay by sending money or a cheque  to their child’s teacher or to the office.  As well, a schedule has been set up in HotLunches so parents can pay online if they wish.

We appreciate parents timely attention to this.

Yearbooks:
Our 2017 – 2018 yearbooks have arrived!  They will be going home with students on Tuesday or Wednesday. There are a limited number of copies still available for sale if a student would still like to purchase one.

As a reminder was not posted on the weekend, the HotLunches menu for June will remain open until midnight tonight – Monday, June 4th.  Food vendors will be called to expect  late orders.

It is a wonderful thing when you have contributed so greatly to the lives of countless students and staff members and find yourself in a place where you can now look forward to filling your days with travel, more time with family and friends, and simply doing those things that give you joy.

Gail Finniss and Sandra Hardy made it official last night at the Public Schools Branch Retirement Dinner. They are moving on to a world beyond Greenfield Elementary School  to a happy and well-deserved retirement.

They will be long remembered and long missed.

A friendly reminder that luch orders for June are due.  The menu closes on Sunday night at midnight.
