I hope you had a terrific day! Tomorrow is day 1 (Reading Buddies). Also tomorrow if you would like to show your support for the Toronto Raptors, students are allowed to wear either a Raptors jersey or a Raptors shirt only! If you are not participating please wear your full school day uniform.
Please wear your brown/tan pants, t-shirt, and black socks and shoes tonight. A kind reminder that all students should be at the school by by 5:00 PM for hair and make up. We will be using a sensitive skin make up and each student will have their own applicator. You may also provide your own make up if you prefer – we will need black for the nose and brown and white. Please ensure each student has clean hair and brings their own brush, as gel and hairspray will be used. The evening show will begin at 6:30 PM. Each show will run approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. We kindly ask that parents stay to enjoy the entire performance, and that once the show is over to please allow all students to exit the dome before you make your back to the school to pick up your child.
A note regarding Wizard of Oz
We are excited about our Grade 3 - 8 Arts Night performance of Wizard of Oz, which is taking place tonight, Tuesday, May 14th, at noon and 6:30 pm at the dome. Students in these grades will be turning their focus to rehearsing over the next days. Parents, family, and friends are all welcome to this event. Remember to wear turf-friendly shoes and dress for the weather on the day of the concert. If it is on the cooler side, bundle up to enjoy the show.
The dome will open at 11:30 am for the noon performance. Shuttles will not be available for this performance.
For the evening performance, students are to be dropped off at their classes by 5 pm. The reason for this early drop-off time is due to allow students to change into their costumes and for makeup application. Costumes will be kept at school. A shuttle will begin taking parents from the school to the dome at 5 pm. Parents requiring a shuttle should meet in the antechamber (Room 51). The doors at the dome open at 5:15 pm.
Once at the dome, we kindly ask that parents not move around during performances. Ushers will be available to guide guests to washrooms if required between performances. Seating is on a first-come basis. We also ask that parents remain seated until the end of the entire performance and until all students have exited the dome. For student safety, students may not leave or be picked up from the dome. All students will be bused back to the school. Shuttles for guests will commence once all students have boarded buses. Please pick up your child from their classroom at the school. We are hoping to finish on time to allow those fasting for Ramadan to get home on time to break their fast. Water and dates will be served after the performance.
Aftercare payments are due by April 15th. Please pay by this date to avoid interest being charged to your account!! There is no school for students on Friday, May 17th and Monday, May 20th.
