Student Vote<\/strong><\/span>
\nOver the past few weeks our intermediate classes have had the opportunity to learn about the British Columbia provincial election, debate the future of the province, and cast ballots for the official local candidates running in their school\u2019s electoral district.\u00a0 On Thursday our students were able to cast their vote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Halloween Costumes
\n<\/strong><\/span>Halloween is just around the corner and we just want to remind families of a few important things:<\/p>\n

Please ensure that you have read the Parent Portal notice regarding costume selection that was put out by the Superintendent of Schools Teresa Downs.<\/p>\n

Each year we do have costumes worn that become damaged through the day or pieces are lost.\u00a0 Please do keep this mind if you are sending your child in an inflatable costume\u00a0 or a costume that has several pieces to it.<\/p>\n

A friendly reminder that we do have students who are allergic to nuts.\u00a0 We ask that if students are bringing Halloween candy that they not only limit what they bring, but they save the treats with nuts in them for at home.\u00a0 Thank you ahead of time for your understanding and us working together in keeping all our students safe.<\/p>\n

Albion Remembers<\/u><\/strong>
\nIn part of our Remembrance Day observations this year, we are creating a display in our front entrance titled \u201cAlbion Remembers\u201d to acknowledge members of our Albion Community who have served for their country.\u00a0 Students are invited to bring in photos of veteran family members for display in our front entrance.\u00a0 Please clearly label pictures with name\/title of the family member in the image, when\/where they served, student name and division.\u00a0 Please send in copies, not original photos.\u00a0 Photos will be accepted until Nov. 6th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Please send or bring copies of the photos to stephanie_downes@sd42.ca<\/a><\/p>\n

This year’s Remembrance Day Assembly will occur on Friday, November 8th beginning at 10:45 am.\u00a0 Poppies will be given out to all students prior to the assembly.\u00a0 We do request that a donation for the Royal Canadian Legion is sent in with your child on this day.<\/p>\n

Movie Night<\/strong><\/span>
\nOur PAC is hosting a movie night this Thursday.\u00a0 Doors open at 6:30 pm and The Nightmare Before Christmas will begin at 7:00 pm.
\nAll students must be supervised by a parent- no drop offs are permitted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Albion Pumpkin Patch<\/strong><\/span>
\nOnce again our PAC is hosting the Albion Pumpkin patch.\u00a0 This year the PAC has generously purchased a pumpkin for each student.\u00a0 On Thursday after recess, classes will make their way outside to the back field where students will then select their own pumpkin to take home.<\/p>\n

PAC Hot Lunch<\/strong><\/span>
\nNovember 1st is our 1st PAC Hot Lunch and it is Panago Pizza.\u00a0 Lunch orders are open on Munch-a-lunch. Hot lunch orders close October 24th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas Market<\/strong><\/span>

Head Lice
\n<\/strong><\/span>Over the past couple weeks we have had a few cases of head lice. We recommend that you check your child\u2019s hair for the presence of head lice, by following the instructions in the Getting Rid of Head lice pamphlet on our school website: https:\/\/elementary.sd42.ca\/albion\/<\/a>\u00a0under the Parent menu.\u00a0\u00a0If you detect head lice on your child, please follow either of the treatment options as described in the Head Lice Treatment pamphlet and notify the school.<\/p>\n

Chemical treatments, hair conditioner and lice combs are available at most drugstores.\u00a0\u00a0It is important that you follow the directions carefully.\u00a0\u00a0Early detections and appropriate treatment will significantly reduce head lice in our school.<\/p>\n

Your co-operation is very much appreciated.<\/p>\n

Friendly Reminders<\/strong><\/span>
\nOur weather has definitely changed, please do ensure that you send your child to school with a jacket for we do have West Coast recess and lunch where, unless the weather is incumbent, all students are required to go outside.<\/p>\n

If you are pulling into the \u201cKiss and Go\u201d section of the school parking lot, please remember to pull as far ahead as you can as this will help eliminate the back up on 240th<\/sup>.\u00a0 A reminder to also please not leave your car unattended for the \u201cKiss and Go lane\u201d is intended for a quick drop off.\u00a0 If your child needs assistance to get out of the vehicle we request that you park on a neighbouring street and walk them into the school yard. We appreciate everyone\u2019s patience in the morning and understanding for we just want to ensure that everyone is kept safe.<\/p>\n
