Dear OSG Families,
This past week we surpassed our goal of 200 PACK tickets earned by students! PACK tickets are given to students when adults in the school notice they are working hard to be a member of the OSG PACK:
Positive
Act responsibly
Responsible and
Kind
To celebrate this achievement, we will have pajama day on Thursday, December 21. Student are invited to wear pajamas to school on this day if they choose.
Be Prepared for the Changing Weather Conditions
Calgary’s weather can include snow, cold temperatures and wind chill and that make getting to and from school challenging. Families are reminded to prepare and take extra caution during the winter months and periods of extreme weather.
Be Prepared
Families should ensure they are prepared for all weather conditions.
Children should be well prepared and dressed for the weather.
Children will find it easier to walk through the ice and snow when school items and lunches are carried in a back pack.
Children should not be left unattended at bus stops for any period of time, under any circumstances. They should have clear instructions on how long to await for the bus and what to do if the bus does not arrive.
Families should ensure that they have back-up care arrangements if transportation is delayed. Children should have a warm place to stay before and after school (i.e. with a neighbour or a nearby relative).
We respect parents/guardians right to make their own decisions about sending their children to school. If your child will not be attending classes please ensure you contact the school's attendance line to report the absence.
