General Information:
Sunny/Wet Weather
We are now experiencing very sunny days mixed in with heavy rain. Please ensure your child has a hat, sunscreen, a change of clothes (pants/shorts, a top socks, underwear) either in their backpack or at school. All students are expected to have a refillable water bottle to use at school as well.
Sickness
If your child is ill, please allow them to fully recover at home before coming back into school. If your child vomits, we request they do not return earlier than 24hrs after their last episode. For illness or absences, please call the school office to excuse your child. You can also email the secretary at debbie.maclean@mpsd.ca
Connect with PAC
We can't thank our parent group enough for everything they do to make Dewdney Elementary such a special place. PAC has set up a parent information Facebook page for parents/guardians to visit. It's a great place to find information, connect with others, and volunteer to help. Simply scan the QR code to take you there!!
Access to School Grounds During the Day:
Our school playgrounds are closed to the public (including Montessori families) while school is in session. This means that we ask parents/community members to visit our school via the office entrance at these times. Non staff members or non enrolled children (Montessori or siblings) are not permitted on our playground equipment or on outside play areas from 8am-2:30pm. We enforce this rule to ensure safety for all our children in our care and is a district policy. If you need to pick your child up at recess or lunch, please come to the office and we will bring your child to you. Thank you for helping us protect our children.
Please note that Dewdney Elementary is a Nut Free school.
School lunches and snacks should not contain any nuts (peanuts, sesame seeds, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts etc.)
