Dear Arbour Vista Families,
Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you had a lovely weekend and were able to find some time to connect with family and friends.
As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe environment, we want to remind everyone about the importance of walking bikes on school property.
We kindly request that all students walking or riding bikes to school adhere to the following guidelines:
Walk bikes on school grounds: To prevent accidents and ensure the safety of pedestrians, including fellow students and staff, please remind your children to walk their bikes once they enter school property. This includes sidewalks, pathways, and all designated school areas.
Use designated bike racks: Upon arrival at school, students should securely park their bikes in the designated bike racks provided. This helps maintain order and prevents obstruction of pathways.
Respect traffic rules: For students riding bikes to school, please emphasize the importance of obeying traffic rules, including traffic signals and stop signs, when approaching and leaving school premises.
Stay vigilant: Encourage students to be mindful of their surroundings and to watch out for other pedestrians, especially during busy arrival and dismissal times.
By adhering to these guidelines, we can create a safer and more enjoyable environment for everyone at our school. We appreciate your cooperation and support in reinforcing these important safety measures with your children.
Spring Clean-Up
In celebration of Earth Day, our school is organizing a special clean-up event, where students will come together to care for our environment and school grounds. Equipped with plastic gloves for safety, we'll embark on a mission to tidy up every corner of our school yard. Before we begin, a thorough review of safety rules will ensure that everyone understands the importance of caution, emphasizing principles like not picking up anything unfamiliar or sharp. This collective effort not only contributes to the well-being of our environment but also fosters a sense of pride and responsibility within our school community. By taking care of our property, we demonstrate our commitment to preserving the beauty of our surroundings and making a positive impact on the world around us.
Elections
Our school will be serving as a host site for the upcoming elections on April 28th. If we are your designated polling station, please ensure you enter through the main doors and follow the signage to the gymnasium for voting.
