Popcorn Fundraiser

The Grade 6 class is holding a fundraiser with popcorn sales on Wednesday morning recess! Each bag is just $3. All proceeds will help grade 6 students go to camp in the spring! 

Bottle Drive

Start saving your bottles! Ms Epp’s grade 2s, and the grade 5 classes will be doing a bottle drive to help pay for their Open Minds field trips. We’ll let you know more on when you can donate your refundable bottles! 

Halloween

Halloween will be a special learning day at Acadia School. Classes will not be having parties but may engage in Halloween or Autumn-themed learning activities. Please have your child bring a healthy snack for themselves. Do not send a treat for the whole class as we will not have class parties and cannot accommodate class food due to allergies.  

We know that this is a big day for children, and we also recognize that not all families celebrate Halloween. As an inclusive environment we want to make sure all students feel comfortable and safe at school. Some families will want their children to wear costumes to school and some may want to save them for community events after school hours. On Tuesday October 31, we welcome students to wear their costumes or pajamas to school if they wish. Students will have an opportunity to show their costume to the whole school community during a costume parade in the gym. We are unable to accommodate parents due to fire regulation capacity. 

When choosing a costume to wear to school please remember: 

• Keep your child’s comfort and safety in mind for indoor and outdoor play. Make sure your child can wear a coat and indoor and outdoor shoes with their costume. 
• Long capes, uncomfortable shoes, or other tripping hazards are discouraged. Students should be able to participate in gym and outdoor play safely throughout the day. 
• Please ensure their vision is not obscured by their costume. 
• Please leave loose props at home. We cannot be responsible for anything lost or left behind at the school before Halloween night and there will be no staff here to accommodate entrance to the school for any forgotten items. 
• Do not send costume weapons to school (swords, guns, etc.) 
• No extremely gory costumes. Please remember we have small children in the building, students, and staff with varying levels of sensitivity. We want everyone to feel safe and have fun!
