January 9, 2024 Update To Families

By

Hello c’usqunela Families,

Happy New Year! We hope you were able to enjoy the break with friends and family and are rested and ready for our return to school! To this end, I wanted to remind families that we are anticipating a significant cold snap this week. Please ensure that students have a warm coat, gloves, proper footwear and something to keep their little heads warm like a toque. The high temperature for Friday is predicted to be -9 degrees so we want to ensure that our students are nice and warm!

Just a couple of reminders below to start this first week in January. Thanks. Mr.R.

  1. Kindergarten SIBLING Registration begins TODAY, Jan. 9th! Please spread the word to any of our c’usqunela families who have a child that turns five in 2024 that the sibling ONLY registration phase is this week! Our school will once again likely have more kindergarten registrations than spots so please register early.
