School Council Needs You!!........ For Our Casino Oct 8 & 9

We have already had an amazing response from family and friends to support our upcoming Casino. This valuable resource, provides for so many art-based supplies for our school. We are still in need of volunteers.  Please email wpschoolcasino@gmail.com if you can help.

WPS Going Scent Free – Supporting The Health Needs Of All

With the growing amount of staff and students whom are sensitive and/or allergic to perfumes and other strong scents, we find it important to move in this direction. We are asking all students and our guests, to be respectful to the health needs of others, by not wearing strong perfumes, deodorants, hairsprays, etc. when they are at WPS.

Next Week Is Spirit Week

Spirit week is happening next Tuesday to Thursday. Students are to head to the basketball courts outside to play minute-to-win it games and win some fabulous prizes. Grade 5 and 6 during the first half of lunch and Grades 7, 8 and 9 during the second half of lunch!!

Pick Up/Drop Off Safety

We need to remind families about safety when dropping off or picking up your child at the end of the day. Students should not be jay-walking across the street because it is easy to and from. This is a huge safety concern during a very busy time of the day.

We also must remind you to NOT park in front of our neighbour’s driveways. They need access to get in and out of their homes.

Lord Beaverbrook has Invited our Families to a Social Media Safety Presentation

FREE Social Media Safety presentation by PAUL DAVIS for all WPS parents/guardians at Lord Beaverbrook High at 6:30pm on Tuesday Sept 19, in their school theater.
Please sign up here: https://forms.gle/3JNAnkC5k8vSP3eFA to attend.

Cell Phones – Away For The Day Policy

We are pleased with how our students are thriving in their learning environments and respecting our “away for the day” cell phone policy. Thank you for your support in this matter. We know this will have a positive impact on our student’s learning environment.

For your reference we wanted to share what steps we are taking to maintain this rule.

If a student is accessing their phone outside of the designated time, the following interventions will be made:

• 1st time: Student receives a warning and places their phone in their locker
• 2nd time: Phone is turned in to the office and handed back at the end of the day.
• 3rd time: Phone is turned in to the office and handed back at the end of the day. The office will call the students home to inform them of the school rule violation.
• 4th time: In person parent/ guardian meeting required

Terry Fox Run – Twoonie For Terry

WPS will be participating in a run/walk in support of the Terry Fox Foundation on Wednesday, Sept 27. We are asking every student to bring in a TWOONIE in support of this amazing cause. We will also be selling drinks and snacks after the run, with all proceeds going towards this great cause.
