Dear Maverick Families,
We have had a great first week together at school! Please be reminded of the following:
Emergency Student Package– due back Friday Sept 15th. Parents, please review and sign where required
Parking Lot– Our school parking lot is a student safety zone and is for staff parking only, or temporary daycare drop off. We welcome back our parking lot attendant Ms. Khan, who will be reminding our families that they should walk to school or drop off their children in designated parking areas.
Walking to School- all students who are not bus students are expected to walk to school and arrive on time, rain or shine. Please use our crosswalk that is staffed by our crossing guard to keep everyone safe. Parking in our bus loading zone and in the bike lanes is prohibited. We encourage all families to plan to walk, bike, wheel, or scoot to school! During this first week of school, we have seen many worrisome and unsafe traffic and parking violations. Please keep our children safe!
School Photo Day– Tuesday Sept 19th – no purchase necessary. Proofs will be delivered to the school at a later date, along with order information. We will share the date of retakes when it is scheduled.
Open House– We look forward to welcoming our families to our JME school open house on Wednesday Sept 20th from 5:30-7:00 pm. Come and see our amazing school and meet our Maverick staff!
Absences – If your child will be absent from school, please send an email to jme-attendance@wrdsb.ca
No Shared Treats From Home- We would like to remind families that we are a treat free school. Please do not send food for children to share at school. We are also nut free, and discourage sesame seeds due to several serious allergies.
Join our Parent Council – We meet once per month and our first meeting will be on Wednesday, September 27th at 6 pm in our school library. Come out to learn more about what Council does in our school and community and start planning for a great year together!
