Back to School Reminders

A few things to keep in mind as the school year begins:

1) SRC fees are due on or before September 5th.  This is a $15 fee payable by cheque to Coronach School.  This fee covers $5 for the Christmas dinner and $10 for other events sponsored by our SRC.

2) Students who stay for lunch have approximately 25 minutes to eat before heading outside.  Although students will have access to a microwave, the line can often be quite long and may take a lot of time.  Please consider this when sending food with your child.  Food that has to boil, or cook for lengthy periods of time is not the best option to send with such a short lunch break. If you send an item that needs to be microwaved, please make sure your child has an idea of how long. Many parents have a sticky note within the lunch kit to use as a guide.

3) Teachers supervise during the lunch break but they are required to move between classrooms so there may not be a teacher in the room at all times.  It is important that your child can open/close containers that are being sent in their lunch.  We also strongly suggest that healthy snacks, lunches, and drinks be sent with your child to school.

4) I also ask that you do not send any birthday invitations to school.  The delivery of the invitations and the hurt feelings that may follow tend to disrupt the routine of the day so we kindly request that they be delivered at another time and place.  Thank you.
