Welcome to the WAAG!
First things first! We'd like to thank our wonderful PAC for their leadership and all the areas they serve in and around the school: hot lunch, hospitality, and fundraising are just some of the ways you contribute to school life. And the quality of school life would be considerably less without you and your dedication. Thanks so much for giving of your time to make our school a wonderful place to nourish children and shine the love of Jesus into their lives. So please join me in giving a cheer for PAC! Hip, hip, hurray! |

Coaches are really required.This just in from our awesome athletics director: Sports teams are expected to be up and running this year! At the moment, we are eagerly looking for coaches for both boys and girls volleyball teams. Teams cannot begin without a coach. If you have any interest, experience, or even a willing heart, please contact me, Mr McKague, for details at chris@gaglardiacademy.ca. |
It's all about personal space...This just in from our delightful director: A quick reminder to our school community to please respect personal space and spread out from the school's entry and exit doors to allow children to physically distance themselves while passing through safely into the school. Thank you for showing mutual respect for one another. |
Traffic system rules...again.
So, there seem to be problems with school traffic already. :( I hope we're all being kind and following the traffic system rules properly 'cause it won't work if everyone's doing their own thing. It'd be chaotic, I tell you. Chaotic! Here's the rules 'in a nutshell':
To drop-off, use the right-hand lane in the Drop and Go Zone. Remember, you can't leave your car if you're in this or the Thru Traffic lanes. If you want to leave your car to walk your child into the school or for any other reason, you must park on the street in the Parking Zone. To leave the Drop and Go zone, use the Thru Traffic lane. Remember: There are only two lanes.
To pick-up, use the right-hand lane in the Drop and Go Zone (which has now magically converted to the Pick-Up and Go Zone). Remember, you can't leave your car in this lane or the Thru Traffic lane. If you want to leave your car to talk to a teacher, friend, or go into the school, you must park on the street in the Parking Zone. After picking up your child, use the Thru Traffic lane to leave the area. Remember: There are only two lanes.
Please do not do U-turns in front of the school and especially not on crosswalks. Drive up or down the street to where it's less busy, and if you must, do a U-turn there.
How about we all work together on this? Then everyone benefits. Just a thought...
