Message from the Principal
May is always a busy month at school. This year will not be an exception! Please be sure to check the attached calendar for important dates. As always, if you require clarification or have questions, please give us a call.
As we are noting more students walking and riding to school, we want to remind everyone that students are expected to wear their helmets when they are riding. Also, we ask students to walk their bikes on school property and to be sure they are following bicycle safety rules on their way to and from school and at all other times. Safety is always our first priority. Our local O.P.P. Officers will continue to patrol the area to ensure individual safety and adherence to safety rules.
Walkers from Holstein are encouraged to use the pathway. Road 109 is quite busy in the morning and at dismissal. There is an improved margin of safety when our students use the pathway.
We are only in the very beginning stages of class and school organization for next year. Staff are allocated according to student enrolment and well as educational program requirements. There is a possibility there may be some staffing changes for next year as well as a number of split classes at Egremont. We will continue to work to provide our students with a body of knowledge skills and attitudes so they become successful and productive citizens.
If your son or daughter comes home from school and speaks to you about an issue or a problem at school (in the classroom, on the bus, on the yard) please call us and let us know. We continue to encourage students to report problems and issues so we can deal with them immediately. We always want problems and conflict to be resolved as soon as possible. If you are getting information at home, please call and let us know.
M. Bennett
