LIBRARY NEWS

Super Reader Assembly

Our first Kiwanis Reader
Assembly celebrating 100
nights of reading will be on Thursday, January 21st at 8:45. Home Reading sheets can be handed in until Friday, January 8th. If your child is being recognized at this assembly, a note will be going home to let you know that we'd love to have you join us.
The next “100 nights of Home Reading” assembly will be held in April, so keep handing in the reading sheets. We will also have a Kiwanis Assembly in June to recognize the final group of “100 Reads” as well as “250 Reads”. I have extra reading sheets in the Library for those of you who need more.

Mrs. Edwards is still looking for a volunteer to work on our hallway display of home reading achievement certificates. If you can donate some time each week to hang up certificates that would be great.
After the New Year we will be starting to prepare for the Book-O-Rama.

CHILLIWACK SCHOOL DISTRICT

Bad Weather Guidelines & Information for Parents & Students

Inclement weather conditions such as freezing rain, significant snowfall or high wind can occur during the fall and winter months. In such conditions, decisions on the opening or closure of school district facilities are made by the Superintendent of Schools in consultation with management and supervisory staff who have checked first-hand on the driving conditions and general condition of buildings.

While service to students and parents is a priority and schools will be kept open as much as is reasonably possible, student and staff safety is the primary consideration.

In the event of extreme weather conditions, parents are urged to check the School District website www.sd33.bc.ca, tune into radio stations STAR FM 98.3, The Hawk 89.5, or The Weather Network (cable channel 90, STAR Choice 398 or Bell Expressview 505) to receive up-to-date information on school closures and information on the buses. Reports will start after 6:00am and will be repeated often. The information broadcast is directly from the School District. The reports are confirmed and there is no
need to call your school, the School District Office or the radio station. Students will be marked absent for the day, but such an absence will not affect a perfect attendance record.

In the event that there is inclement weather but the school remains open, it is the parent's decision, based on their assessment of the relative safety of travel conditions, as to whether or not their children attend school.
