Labels - A MUST in Kindergarten!

If you're starting to get your items together for "BACK TO SCHOOL" time, don't forget your labels. Labeling your child's items brought to school is a great way to make sure that they can be returned to them if they are misplaced. That way they can make it back home and do not become a permanent fixture on our "LOST AND FOUND" table.

What should I label?
- Indoor Shoes
- Outdoor Shoes
- Coats (all coats sent to school)
- Hats (winter and sun)
- Mittens
- Sweatshirts (these get taken off when a child is too hot, and are often discarded and misplaced).
- Emergency Clothes for your child's "Emergency Clothes Kit" (socks, underwear, pair of pants,T-Shirt)
- ALL lunch containers!!!!!!
- water bottles/juice containers
- Lunch bag
- Back pack

Did you know that Sir William Osler Public School has partnered with "Mabel's Labels" as a fundraising effort? You can purchase label items from "Mabel's Labels" and a portion will be donated to Sir William Osler Public School! I use these labels ALL the time on EVERYTHING. They are dishwasher and machine-wash/dryer safe. They last for years and make sure that your items can be returned to their owners.

Welcome to Mrs. Melo

Mrs. Melo has joined our Osler family and will be stepping into the Early Learning Kindergarten Class with Mrs. Clarke as the Designated Early Childhood Educator (D.E.C.E.).  We welcome her with open arms and hope that she will feel like she's coming "home" to our wonderful community family.

Mrs. Melo is looking forward to being in the ELK classroom and can't wait to meet all the students and parents.

A Fond Farewell to a Wonderful Partner

It's with celebration and sadness that we bid a fond farewell to Mrs. Morrow.  After being part of our Sir William Osler Public School Family for the past three years, she will be leaving us to join a new Kindergarten Team at Maple Grove Public School in Barrie.  This wasn't an easy decision for Mrs. Morrow as she has enjoyed being at Osler, loving the staff and students like family and sharing many wonderful memories.  This decision is in the best interest of herself and with her family.  She will miss everyone, but is planning on visiting if she can.

We wish her all the best, and celebrate the time we've had with her.

SK Graduation

On Monday, June 24th, we had an opportunity to celebrate the successes of our Senior Kindergarten Students as they graduated and begin to get ready for Grade One in September.  They have come so far and have grown so much since when they entered their Junior Kindergarten Year.  I am proud of each and everyone of our students.  They have all made gains personally, academically and socially since when they began.  I want to wish them all the best in all that they do.  I hope that they'll pop back in the Kindergarten Class to say hello and to keep me updated on how they are doing.

Love from, Mrs. Clarke
