George Bissett Elementary

GBES Weekly Family Forecast (April 11-15, 2022)

Hello Families,

We hope you enjoyed the weekend. It was nice chatting with parents/guardians in person at our Parent-Teacher on Thursday. For some, it was the first time seeing the inside of the school. Welcome and/or Welcome Back! If you haven’t had an opportunity to chat with your child’s teacher last week, please connect with them. 

This is a reminder that Our School will begin its implementation of SchoolMessenger Safe Arrival tomorrow morning, Monday, April 11.

An email will be shared with you this afternoon with more information.

There is no school on Friday, April 15 and Monday, April 18.

Out of Area Request

The link for Out-of-Area Requests is: https://www.hrce.ca/about-hrce/school-administration/student-registratio...

New for 2022:

Parents/guardians may now seek placement for their child attending the Pre-Primary Program in a school outside the neighborhood in which they reside under the guidelines of the Student Registration Policy.

This change is effective for the 2022-23 school year. Requests can only be made electronically. Attached you will find a document outlining this process.

With Spring upon us, the school grounds are quite muddy. Please send in a change of clothes in case your child has an accident outside. Students are also reminded to bring in a water bottle each day. 

Don’t forget to contact Mrs. Betts in the office if you are able to volunteer to chaperone our May 12th field trip to watch a performance of “The Lion King” at Prince Andrew High.

Subway lunch takes place tomorrow and Little Caesar’s on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful week,

Jimmy Hurley
Principal
George Bissett
