Good afternoon Chelsea Families,
I hope that everyone has had an enjoyable start to February this week. Today at C.E.S., we celebrated 100s Day with a showcase of beautiful projects completed by our Kinder and Cycle 1 students. All our classes got to visit the MPR and see the creative and thoughtful work that was put into these projects by our students in commemorating this important milestone in every school year – 100 days of classes completed!
Registration Day for New Students in 2024-2025
We will be holding a Registration Day for new incoming Kindergarten students on Monday, February 12th from 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM. Margit Pedersen will be taking appointments throughout the day to get students registered for next year. This day is also open to any student who may be new coming to the school next year at the older grades as well.
WQSB App
A reminder that if you have not done so, I would highly recommend that parents take the time to download the WQSB app to their devices so that you can receive transportation and inclement weather updates in real time. For example, we have been experiencing several bus cancellations recently and this was the main mechanism that the school board used to communicate this information to both the school and families.
Parent Workshop Series
There are a series of workshops being offered to families within our community, and one is coming up on February 20th at the Wakefield Community Center. This is being offered by an organization called Village Parent, and further information available at www.villageparent.ca Please see the attached leaflet for details.
Parent Getting Involved (P.P.O.)
There are many opportunities for parents to get involved in school life and events in the coming months, that are included but not limited to:
- Volunteering in our Library
- Supporting fundraising efforts (ex: pizza lunches)
- Stations for Winter Carnival Afternoon
- Upcoming Winter Wonderland Dance supervision
- School Beautification Projects

PD Days Next Week
A reminder that there are two PD days in our school calendar on Monday, February 12th & Tuesday, February 13th. No classes will be running, and staff will be engaging in professional learning opportunities during these days. We look forward to welcoming students back when classes resume on Wednesday, February 14th.
Winter Carnival Afternoon Feb. 14th
Despite the lack of fluffy snow on the ground these days, Ms. Bea has been organizing activities and stations in support of a Winter Carnival afternoon on Wednesday, February 14th beginning at 12:30 PM. Students will be moving through winter activity games and stations in groups (7 total), and we will have music and hot chocolate available for all participants. Families are also welcome to attend this event from 1:00 – 2:30 PM to enjoy the fun. We are looking forward to all getting outside and enjoying ourselves together as a school community!
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ahead,
