We hope all our Stingers had a wonderful summer and are returning to school excited for the year ahead. Here’s what you need to know for the first few days of school:

We want to ensure a smooth entry for our students. Please read the information below carefully as it fully explains how students in Grades 1 – 7 will be organized for the first week of school (our Kindergarten families have already received specific information regarding the September gradual entry format):

• All returning students will go to last year’s pod door
• All Grade 6 LFI students originating from Chalmers will remain with their last year’s divisions. All Grade 6 LFI students who attended a different school for Grade 5 should report to the gym
• New students to Chalmers in French and English (who are not in Kindergarten) will go to the gym for orientation and distribution to temporary classes
• All Kindergarten students will start school at 11:00 am as per the gradual entry schedule

School hours during the first week back will be as follows:

• • Tuesday 8:45 am – 12:00 pm
  • Wednesday 8:45 am – 2:00 pm
  • Thursday/Friday 8:45 am – 3:00 pm
• During the first week of school, most students in Grades 1 – 7 will work with the teacher they had during the 2018-19 school year. Those students whose teacher is no longer at Chalmers will work with the newly assigned teaching staff
• During the first week of school, students are asked to only bring a limited amount of school supplies (pencil box containing pencils and pens, pencil crayons, scissors, etc.). All other supplies should be left at home until they are assigned to their classes for the year

Enjoy the final long weekend of the summer, see you on Tuesday!

We look forward to a smooth start to the 2019-20 school year!
