We have had a fun filled year
of learning and growing
together and it boggles our minds that a
school year can vanish so quickly. We want to
thank all of you for your support this year
because without you, our jobs would be more
difficult. Our school council plays a large role
in supporting the school with the help of
families who support the initiatives and attend
the events. The funds raised support the
children in many ways. The community events
are a great way to connect and celebrate life
with our children. From donations to help
with trips, donating classroom materials,
scribing for EQAO, reading individually with
children .... we sincerely appreciate your help.
With that in mind, we would like to invite
volunteers to attend our volunteer breakfast
that will take place at 8:15 on the morning of
June 26 th before the Talent Show. This is a
small token of our appreciation. Hope you can
join us!

SWIM TO SURVIVE
DRESS CODE
Our children were fortunate to once again participate in
the grade 3 Swim to Survive program held at the Centre
Wellington Community Sportsplex for 3 sessions, where
they learned basic swimming and survival strategies.
As the warm weather arrives, we have happily put away
our winter jackets, boots, scarves and mittens. With the
change of seasons, we ask parents to please review our
school dress code with your children. Pertinent sections
are:
hats and caps need to be removed upon entering
the school
for safety reasons, ‘flip-flops’ are not
appropriate footwear for school
‘muscle shirts’, spaghetti straps, low-scooped
necklines and bare midriffs are not acceptable
for school Girls’ straps should be at least as
wide as the width of two fingers; boys’
sleeveless shirt straps should be at least as wide
as the width of four fingers
TRACK AND FIELD
Our school track and field meet will take place on June
5th. Please keep an eye on the weather. Sunhats,
sunscreen, water bottles, etc. will help your child have a
comfortable, fun day. Area Track and Field will take
place at JD Hogarth on June 12th - rain date is June 14th.
More info to follow.

undergarments, including bra straps, should not
be visible
shorts and skirts must be a reasonable length
“Reasonable length” is roughly the location where a person’s finger
tips touch his or her legs in a normal standing position.
Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a
school climate that is conducive to learning, and
respectful.
GARDEN MULCH
Thanks to the grade 5 classroom for spreading the 4
cubic yards of mulch around the front and back flower
gardens last week. A couple of our students decided that
edging was needed and proceeded to take charge of that
department and the gardens look super. If there are any
parents that are interested in deadheading, pruning and
weeding next spring, please let Mrs. Plazek know.
"The summer vacation period corresponds to roughly
one-third of the academic year. [...] Children who read
during the summer months were less likely to experience
summer reading loss and more likely to have their
achievement remain steady or to modestly increase."
(Richard Allington and Anne McGill-Franzen, Summer
Reading, 2013, p. 8–9)
Luckily we have our RAZ kids programs which students
can access up until the end of August. The Rockwood
Public Library is also offering many exciting summer
programs. Be sure to see the insert in this month’s
newsletter. Happy Reading!
At the end of June, you will also receive a parent guide
entitled, Reading and Writing with Your Child and
Doing Mathematics with Your Child, provided by the
Ontario Ministry of Education. The are filled with
excellent tips and suggestions.
