West Royalty

This Wednesday, February 27th, West Royalty Elementary School will join schools and organizations across Canada to recognize Pink Shirt Day; an annual event marked to recognize Anti-Bullying Day in Canada.

Pink Shirts are worn to show support against bullying. In 2007, two youth, David Shepherd and Travis Price of Nova Scotia witnessed Chuck McNeill, a grade 9 student, being bullied for wearing a pink shirt on the first day of school. The two boys went out that night and purchased 50 pink shirts. The following morning, they handed the shirts out to 50 male students as they entered school. This silent protest against bullying caught on and is now recognized internationally. We encourage everyone to stand up against bullying and wear Pink!

Maurice Bernard will have art classes at West Royalty Elementary after school on
Tuesdays from 2:40 – 4:15 for six weeks starting March 26th.
These classes will involve drawing, painting, watercolor and clay modelling.
Cost of the classes is $120.00 taxes and supplies included.
For more information or to register call:
902-432-0171 or 902-436-8485.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

We have a lot of parents dropping off students every day. We encourage you to have your child take the school bus if at all possible.

However, if you need to drop off your child, please pull up to the gym section of the school before stopping and let your child out on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Please DO NOT stop at the cross walk at the 3/4 wing door to let your child out.

We are also asking that you do not park in front of the school and leave your vehicle unattended. This is a serious safety issue. If you are walking your child to the doors, please park in the parking lot.

Please take the extra few minutes each morning to follow the above procedures so we can help prevent an accident or injury to a child from occurring.

We will be holding a Jersey Day on Friday, January 25 th. Staff and students are encouraged to wear their favorite sports jersey. This is a fundraiser for Easter Seals, so we’re asking staff and students to make a loonie or toonie donation to Easter Seals
