If you've been on the website looking at the Bell Schedule, please note that there was an error for the grade 6 and 7 End of Day dismissal. The correct dismissal time is 3:00 pm (not 2:45 pm as previously stated). The web page is now updated with the correct time. Our apologies for any misunderstanding. 

Mondays from now until the end of school are Formal Uniform days (unless it's a holiday, of course)! If you've got questions about the uniform or how it's worn, please see the Uniform Requirements booklet for Grades K-9. To view it online, click the link below.

PS. For those of you waiting for your cardigan sweater order from Cambridge, don't worry. Send your children to school wearing the uniform pieces you have currently. More on this later.

Kindergarten students start their school journey with half-days starting Monday, Sep 12, until Friday, Sep 16. Our new friends will start at 8:40 am and end their "day" at 12:00 pm. The following Monday, Sep. 19, will be the start of full days.

We looking forward to seeing you!

The first PAC meeting of the new school year is on Tuesday, Sep. 13, at 6:30 pm in the school chapel. For each PAC meeting you attend, you'll receive 1 hour that goes toward completing your volunteer hours for the year. What a deal! :)

Have questions? Contact PAC President, Kelly Hiller at kmahiller@gmail.com.

Reading Club for the 2022-2023 school year is ready to launch! If you are already familiar with the program, Click Here to print out the Reading Club-20 log and get started reading and recording.

If you have any questions, please contact me (Mrs Mac) at pauline@gaglardiacademy.ca. Happy reading to all! 

As mentioned earlier, if you haven't received your cardigan sweater order from Cambridge Uniforms, please don't fret. Cambridge is experiencing delays in their production but will send cardigans as soon as they can, probably in late September. The school office is aware of all families affected by this issue and we don't expect your child to wear their cardigan on formal uniform days until we know the shipment has arrived and you have received your order. Grace and peace to you. 

Just yesterday you received an email from Kathleen Wall who coordinates PAC's Hot Lunch Program. If you didn't receive it, I've included it here 'cause it seemed helpful and I'm a fan of that. Read below.

"Hello and Welcome Back! We hope you had a wonderful summer!

The Hot Lunch Ordering System will be open for September and October orders starting Friday, Sept 9, until Sunday, Sept 18. 

PLEASE NOTE: Children need to be registered in the hot lunch system each year as the system is cleared ...

Grades K-5 ADST classes will be in need of old, broken, or unused electronics such as computers, phones, etc. If you've got some items like these lying around that you'd like to donate, please drop them off at the office. If you have questions, please contact Mr Roy at danielr@gaglardiacademy.ca. Thanks in advance! (ADST classes won't need them until November but it's great to plan ahead!)

If your child wants to ride their bike, scooter, or pogo-stick (all grades), go off-campus (grades 8-12 only), or if you want your high school student or another family to pick up your elementary child at the end of the day, you'll need to fill out permission forms. A good thing to do is visit our website to see the entire list of permission forms, find the ones that apply, and take it from there. And be sure to get those forms back to the office ASAP. Please and thank you.
