This Week at Sunnybrae PS - Nov. 20 to 24, 2023
Principal’s Message: Thank you for taking the time last week to meet with staff to talk about your child(ren)’s progress. Working together is the best way to help them learn and grow. We have been having a lot of issues during soccer games both on the primary and junior/intermediate yards. Yard duty staff and classroom teachers have been focusing on teaching the skills of being a good sport regardless of whether you are winning or losing, following the rules and applying self-regulation skills in the heat of the moment. Thank you for your support in reinforcing these skills.

- Nov. 21st: Intermediate Girls Basketball Zones

Upcoming:
- Nov. 28th: Grade 2 Trip to Simcoe County Museum (Payment and permission available through schoolcash online)

Popcorn Sales - Tuesdays from Nov. 21 to Dec. 19
The Grade 8's are selling popcorn to raise money for their Grade 8 trip. They will deliver orders every Tuesday from October 31st to December 19th. All sales must be made through schoolcash in advance to provide them with the numbers ordered. Students can only order one bag each week and the cost per bag is $2.00. Orders must be placed by Sundays at 6:00 pm and will be delivered to students in their classrooms on Tuesday. You can order each week or order several weeks in advance. We are unable to deliver after Tuesday if a student is absent and we are unable to issue refunds. Sales will end Sunday at 6:00 pm and will resume on Wednesday for the following week.

Safe Arrival system for SCDSB schools – call 1-888-885-8065 to report an absence
Our school office is a very busy place. You can help out by remembering to call if your child will be absent. You can also email [email protected]. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to notify the school of any absences/lates if your child is part of our safe arrival program. Please spell your child’s name and teacher’s name as the translation of some messages is very challenging to determine the student’s name who is absent.
