LABELS FOR EDUCATION
Effective Feb.1/08, Campbells has expanded the eligible products in
their campaign “Labels for Education”. We are able to redeem these
labels and turn them into equipment and supplies to be used at our
school. These can be dropped off at the school. Thanks for your
support! (see attached page).
STORM POLICY
Full Closure - Entire School Division
In specific circumstances a decision may be made to cancel bus
transportation and to close all schools or the entire Division. The
Superintendent and the Director of Operations will make such a decision.
Partial Closure
At certain times, conditions in specific areas will dictate that the
buses will not run and that schools will be closed in those areas only.
Cartwright School (Area 1) will operate along with Willowcreek Colony
School. For partial closures the bus captain and principal will make
the decision, they will inform the other drivers and in turn the bus
parents will be notified by their driver. Information about closure
will also be available on the following radio stations: CKX 1150; CKLQ
880; CKMW 1570; CJRB 1220.
The policy will be flexible to allow for special circumstances like
sudden storms. Decisions to run or not in the afternoon will be made in
the same way as outlined above. If buses do not run in the afternoon,
students will go to their emergency billets and bus drivers will inform
the parents on their route.
If you as a parent do not feel comfortable sending your child to school
due to weather conditions, do not hesitate to keep them home.
SCHOOL CURLING
Tom Mowbray will again be giving curling instruction to Grade 6, 7,
& 8. Students will be divided into teams, starting in mid February.
There will be an Open House at the University of
Winnipeg on Wed. February 20th. All high school students, and their
parents are welcome. Please call the school for more info.
