• SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS
  It is the policy of the South Shore Regional School Board that all volunteers, BEFORE working with children in the schools, MUST complete a Child Abuse Register form and have a RCMP Criminal Records Check done. The  necessary information and forms are available at the School Office. It takes at least three weeks to process these forms and both Child Abuse Register and RCMP Criminal Records Check MUST be approved and on file at the School Office before you begin volunteer work with students.

• If you are able to assist with the Hot Lunch Program, please contact the school for more information. Thank you.

• BRINGING TOYS TO SCHOOL: As a friendly reminder, I would like to ask that parents do not send toys to school with their children. When the children bring their own toys, it adds the extra distraction of them either being lost or broken, which of course is very unsettling to the toy’s owner. Additionally in the classroom, the toys distract from the learning environment and can complicate the classroom for everyone. Again, as always, we thank you for your support.

• Donations of pop and water bottles, etc., can be dropped off in the special bin provided at Adams Transport Bottle Exchange & Enviro Depot, Gold River.  Money raised will go towards the purchase of physical educations equipment for the school.
