The Home & School will be holding a movie night at the school Oct. 29th. It is a family night so the students siblings are welcome to come and parents need to remain with their children. There will be a canteen and the Home & School will be asking for donations at the door. The movie will begin at 6:30 and it will be a children's halloween movie.
Saint Andrews Elementary is currently hosting our Book Fair in the school library. It will run Monday, October 18, 2010 through Wednesday, October 20, 2010 from 10am-3pm. It will also be open Monday evening from 6pm-8pm. Monday will be the only evening it will be open. Come on out and check out some great books and support our school.
Students have been bringing "Silly Bands" to school. Although they look great on their wrists they have become a distraction during class time. They have become the cause of some arguments as well. For this reason "Silly Bands" are no longer allowed at St. Andrews Elementary. If a student is seen with a "Silly Band" it will be taken away and not give back.
It is now mandatory that all people coming into the school to spend any amount of time (for volunteering, sitting with your child, etc.) must complete Policy 701 training. The link for the information is http://701.nbed.nb.ca/toc-e.asp. The validation questionnaire can be found at . Please print off the sheet showing you have completed this and bring it to the school with you. You only need to complete it once.
Our Cross Country and Soccer teams have begun the fall season here at Saint Andrews. The Cross Country team practices on Monday from 3 -4pm and have meets on Wednesday at 4pm. Our Soccer team plays games on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All players and runners have been given a schedule. Please refer to your child’s schedules so they are prepared before they arrive at school and a BYE on the soccer schedule means the team is not playing on that day.
