  4. SFX is a Peanut and Tree Nut Aware School. Tree Nut allergies consist of cashews, pistachios, walnuts, and hazelnuts.However, please be aware that in Kindergarten we also have allergies to turkey and fish.

  5. Backpack Too small Perfect size backpack, everything must fit into the backpack including the lunch and snack bag, planner, waterbottle, duo tangs and any work that is sent home.

  6. Lunch bags • Part of our eating routine includes the children unpacking and packing up their snack and lunch belongings. Please provide a lunch bag with a zipper that children can carry from their backpacks to their desk, as to make it easier for them to not carry several items in their hands. The lunch bag should be able to fit morning snack, lunch, towel placemat and chinese school snack if necessary.

  7. Towel The small hand towel is used as a placemat when students are eating. Please remember to wash this frequently as students will be taught to use their own small towel to wipe up any mess.

  8. Black running shoes • Black running shoes are needed for INDOOR use. They are worn in the classroom everyday and for gym class. These shoes stay at school. Your child will come to school in OUTDOOR shoes and wear these at recess.

  9. Gym Days • Tuesday’s and Thursday’s are GYM days. Your child must come to school wearing their gym shorts, gym shirt, sweatshirt and sweatpants.

  10. All Garbage and food scraps will be sent home Please send food in Tupperware/containers as it is better for the environment.

  11. Label, Label, Label Label everything clearly with child’s name and grade. Check your child’s clothing regularly to confirm that it is their clothing and not a friends. If your child stays for Chinese School provide a snack in a small ziplock bag as it will go outside with them. Containers often get lost or left out on the big playground. Please remember that school begins at 8:45 promptly and concludes at 3:30, except Wednesday which is 2:30 dismissal.

  12. Birthdays Celebrated once a month. Usually on the last Wednesday or Friday of the month.

  13. Special Treat Bags Please write (ToMySpecialFriend) rather than individual names.

  14. Kids Do Get Hot So Don’t Overdress Them Water Bottle No Glass Spill Proof Please

  15. Sick If your child is sick, please keep them at home and email the school. If your child is away for 3 or more days because of an illness a doctors note is required. If it is less than 3 days a written note is required by the guardian. All notes should be in the planners.

  16. This program will begin in February. It is a joint effort by parents and teachers. Family homework will be assigned. More information will be given closer to the day.

  17. Parent Volunteer Opportunities Help is always needed but allow minimum 1 days notice to the teacher if you would like to help so we can prepare assignments and work for you. Do not just turn up, expecting to help we will have NO work for you as NO notice was given.

  18. Field Trips Criminal Record Checks are required to work with any and all children. We have two prospective field trips in Kindergarten; the Pumpkin Patch (October 28th) and the Vancouver Aquarium (February 25th)

Please place any money in an envelope clearly labeled with the students name and reason, then place it into the clear pocket of the planner.
