Hello MAS families! Hard to believe we are into a new
month. Reminder that this weekend is daylight savings and we turn our clocks
back an hour.
Today we had our LHHS buddies visit for multi-age
activity groups. These have been lots of fun!
A few reminders-
School Clothing Order- We will be once
again doing a school clothing order. Order forms will come home on Monday and
be due back on Friday, November 15th. This is completely optional.
You can use schoolcashonline to pay, but we ask that all order forms be
returned to the school.
Parent Workshop
Evening- On Thursday,
November 14th we will be partnering with Nasis Memorial school
and be hosting a parent night with the guest speakers of “It’s OK to be
Awesome”. These ladies offer workshops for parents around Mental wellness
strategies to use with your child, Mindset coaching for parents, Real-life
application exercises, and Hand-outs to take home. Thank you to our PSSC for
offering this to our parent community. We will be sending home a MonkeySurvey
to families ahead of time to get an idea of how many intend on coming,
childcare needs (will be by donation), and for ideas on topics parents are interested
in learning more about. For more information you can visit their website
at http://itsoktobeawesome.ca/
Report Cards- Report cards for
term one will be sent home on Monday, November 18th. Parent teacher
interviews will follow on Thursday, November 21st evening, and on
Friday, November 22nd morning. We encourage all parents to attend
and meet and talk with your child’s teacher to learn about your child’s
academic progress.
Clothing Exchange- We will be having
another clothing exchange. We are looking for winter clothing donations. We
will begin to collect items at the school on Wednesday, November 13th
to Wednesday, November 20th. During that time you are welcome to
drop off clean and in good condition items to be donated. During parent teacher
interview days (Thursday and Friday) the clothing will be out in the gymnasium
for families to browse through and take as needed.
Remembrance Day Ceremony- On Thursday,
November 7th at 1pm we will be having our Remembrance Day Ceremony.
Any students involved in Guides, Cubs, Sparks, etc. are invited to wear their
uniform on that day. Parents are also invited to join us, if you wish. Please
notify your child’s classroom teacher by Wednesday, November 6th if
you plan to attend and we will sure to have seats available for you.
School Pictures- School photos have arrived! Please watch for these coming home with
your child today. Picture Retake orders due Friday November 1.
UNB Hockey Northside Elementary Night- It is time again for UNB Reds
Men’s Hockey Northside Elementary Schools Night taking
place on Friday, November 15th at the
Aitken Centre when the UNB Reds host the Universite de Moncton Aigles Bleus at
7pm. This is one of the most exciting nights of the year for both
students and the Reds!
Again Parents will
have to go to the Aitken Centre Box Office to pick up both their child’s free
ticket and the parents ½ price $ 6.00 ticket. Parents can get their ½
price ticket on game night but they are encouraged to pick them up by
4:30pm on Friday, November 15th as tickets tend to sell out
fast. Both the parent and child must have a ticket to the game.
Each school will have an assigned section at the rink when parents pick up
their tickets they just need to say what school they are with. The Aitken
Centre Box office is open from 10:00am-4:30pm Monday to Friday. Doors open
at 6pm on Game night. The first 20 elementary students to arrive at
the AUC game-night will each receive (for them only):
1) Invite to the post-game team visit
