General Skating
On Wednesday, February 14, 2024, students will be attending the Katelyn Osmond Arena to go skating. Families are invited to join their children at the arena for their scheduled time.
Please note: Students and anyone wishing to skate must wear a CSA approved helmet when on the ice.
The skating schedule is as follows:

Any students without permission to skate will stay at the school with an assigned teacher for
their group to watch a movie. To aid in planning for this event, the permission form below is
due back to your child’s teacher by Tuesday, February 6th. Please indicate whether you will be
attending with your child - any help in tying skates is greatly appreciated!
School Development Surveys
School Development Surveys are conducted annually to gather feedback from students, staff, and parents/guardians to inform the school development process. The survey results will be provided to your child’s school and used with other data to identify the school’s strengths and challenges. Your child’s school will then create and implement a plan to build on successes and address areas of challenge.
The survey is anonymous, which means that we cannot connect your survey responses to you. We encourage everyone to participate so that we have the most accurate representation of family perceptions at your school.
The Family Survey will be available on February 5th , 2024. Please complete the survey by March 15th, 2024 by clicking on the following link: https://www.research.net/r/SDFamily2324EN. If you do not have internet access contact your school.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the school development surveys, please contact:
- Allan Johnson at 709-729-7831 or allanjohnson@gov.nl.ca or
- Patricia Emberley at 709-729-6850 or patriciaemberley@gov.nl.ca
Thank you for your participation and for being a valued member of your school community.
