Bulldog Bulletin February 2 to 6, 2026
Principal’s Message: Given the number of extreme cold alerts we have received this Winter, I thought I would share the SMDHU guidelines for outside activities. Extreme cold alerts are issued when the temperature or wind chill is expected to reach –30 degrees for at least two hours. The SMDHU recommends that children be kept indoors if the temperature falls below –25 degrees or if the wind chill is –27 or greater, as exposed skin will begin to freeze at –27 degrees. The SCDSB uses the Canada Weather app to determine the most accurate temperature. We will call an indoor recess and avoid outside learning if these temperatures are reached to keep students and staff safe.

Tuesday, February 17th, we will transform our school yard into a winter wonderland filled with joy, laughter, and festive activities for students in Grades 1-8. Our Kindergarten classes will have a Winter fun celebration on a later date. (In the case of inclement weather, the carnival will be postponed to the following day, February 18th.)
- Please ensure your child is dressed warmly with layers, hats, gloves, snowpants and waterproof boots. Please send extra socks and mittens/gloves. We want everyone to stay cozy and enjoy the festivities to the fullest.
- Additionally, we are in search of enthusiastic parents who would like to contribute to the success of the Winter Carnival by volunteering. If you are on the approved volunteer list and are available and willing to help, please contact Danielle Shannon at [email protected]. Joyeux Carnaval!

Safe Arrival system for SCDSB schools –email [email protected] or call 1-888-885-8065 or to report an absence (we recommend using the email system). Parents/guardians are responsible to report a child’s absence/arriving late prior to the start of the school day. Do not wait for the call from the school. Please note: the safe arrival number and email are to be used only to notify the school if your child will be late or absent. It is not for notification of changes in pick up, busing, etc.
On days when buses are cancelled due to inclement weather, the Safe Arrival program continues. For parents/guardians of students who ride the bus on these days, if you receive a call and believe that your child should be in attendance, you are asked to please call the school. Otherwise, the school will assume that you are aware of your child's absence
Families of students who walk to school should call the school if their children are not attending on inclement weather days. If you receive a call and believe that your child should be in attendance, you are asked to please call the school. Otherwise, the school will assume that you are aware of your child's absence.
