Dear Simons Valley Parents/Guardians,
Thank you for being the amazing parent group that you are! Your patience and support as we navigate through these uncertain times is so appreciated. Our school mantra has been ‘We are all in this together!’ and truly what matters the most right now, is how we stay connected in uncertain times.
Many of you have asked about when you are able to come by the school and gather your child’s belongings as well as, returning library books. We would like to offer you the opportunity to come to SVS on
Thursday April 9th AM (only) for student last names starting with A-L
Tuesday April 14th AM (only) for student last names starting beginning with M-Z
ALTERNATE ONLY: Wednesday April 15th
Please see the schedule below:
IMPORTANT: In accordance with Alberta Health Services and social distancing:
· If anyone in your family is ill, please do not come to the school. Student belongings will not leave the school and we can make arrangements at another time for you to come in when your family is healthy. We prefer to be cautious and not endanger the staff and their families.
· Only one parent, (no students will be allowed) is invited to come to the school at their designated time. Please make sure you know your child’s/children’s teacher’s name. Do not collect for any other families but your own.
· Ask your child the description of their indoor shoes.
This is not a time to socialize and catch up. We need you to be as efficient and quick as possible to help maximize the safety of everyone. We do request that you promptly collect your belongings, not engage in conversation and respect social distancing for your safety and that of our staff. (We don’t mean for this to be so quick and impersonal but health and safety is our number one priority).
Kindly follow the schedule below with the first letter of your child’s last name and enter through the glass doors by the parking lot (Grade One doors) and exit by the front doors on Sandarac Drive. We ask you to try to make it on Thursday/Tuesday and only come on Wednesday as an alternate.
SVS staff is working hard planning and organizing learning materials. We ask that you check your emails and our website Simons Valley School, as it can be translated into a variety of languages. Please feel free to contact us at the school at 403-777-6660 or email your child’s teacher. Although we have no idea when we will come out of this, if we stand by one another, we can somehow rise above it. After all, when this is all over, all that will really matter is how we treated each other.
Be Brave, Be Kind, Stay Positive,
Chris Snow, Principal
Gina Davidoff, Assistant Principal
