Reminders
Monday, September 23rd is a P.A. Day. See you on Tuesday!Meet the Teacher Night
Thursday, September 26th is 'Meet the Teacher Night' at Rick Hansen P.S. We are excited to welcome families into the school. There are 2 sessions that you can choose to attend: 6:00 - 6:20 pm or 6:30 - 6:50 pm. Please remember that the purpose of this evening is not to discuss individual student progress but to invite families into the classroom so children can proudly show their parents where they spend their day and to hear a brief overview of the curriculum that will be covered this year. I look forward to meeting everyone! If anyone is unable to attend, please let me know.Chippewas of Georgina Island Pow Wow
On Saturday, September 28th there will be an opportunity for students and their families to attend the Chippewas of Georgina Island Pow Wow. Any students who want to attend must also have at least one parent or guardian who is travelling with them as staff will not be responsible for supervision. The bus will leave Rick Hansen Public School at 10:00 am and will depart Georgina Island at 4:30pm. Please note that there are limited seats available on the bus. You are welcome to bring as many family members as you'd like. Please register on School Cash Online. This opportunity will be on a first come first served basis.
The bus will take us to Virginia Beach where we will catch the ferry to the island and then a bus shuttle to the event. We will use a free ferry shuttle to get to and from the Island. Please see below for the entrance cost per person for the Pow Wow.
We at Rick Hansen Public School are deeply committed to meeting the Calls To Action as outlined by Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We hope that our broader school community will enjoy this opportunity to learn more about our partners in education on Georgina Island.
