Principal: M. S. Aulakh Vice-Principals: K. K. Virk & N. Arondus Dear Parents and Guardians, Monday September 10 th, 2018 After a warm and beautiful summer, it is time again to start a brand new school year! Our G.A.D. staff and administration are ready and excited to provide our students an educationally enriching school year. Join us in welcoming the new members of our staff! Seep Midha Gr. 2A Navneet Cheema Gr. 3C Prathiba Unni Gr. 5A Ramanpreet Dosanj Gr. 6B Pritpal Saini Gr. 8 Linda Alagas - PHE PARENT INVOLVEMENT Along with the students we encourage parent and families to join us in making this year a success! To help build a strong school community for the benefit of our students, we welcome families to be involved in the school and provide input. There will be many opportunities throughout the school year where we can collaborate and ensure the success of different programs and events in the school. We encourage you to share with us how you can support the school or check with us for volunteering opportunities and attend the Parent Support Group (PSG) meetings. SCHOOL HOURS Office 7:30 am 4:00 pm Student hours 8:10 am 2:40 pm Class begins at 8:10 am Lunch hours vary by class School Day ends at 2:40 pm for K-9 Please have your child at school no earlier than 8:00 am when supervision begins. Students should be picked up promptly at 2:40 pm unless they are in an afterschool club (they will be starting soon). ABSENCES, LATE DROP OFFS & EARLY PICK-UPS * It is important that students do not arrive late. The first lesson of the day begins at 8:10 am students should be in their classrooms by this time, as we do not want any students missing important instructional time.* If your child is going to be late or away please notify the office by 8:30 am. Also, if your child arrives after 8:10 am they must go to the office to get a late slip. If you need to pick up your child early please, notify the class teacher or the office in the morning, before 2pm, to avoid class disruption at the end of the day. TRAFFIC SAFETY The first couple of weeks of school are going to be busy. Please observe all traffic rules and be extra attentive when driving in and around the school parking lot. Drive slowly and carefully as there will be many children around. The speed limit in the parking lot is 10km/hr. Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth stress-free parking lot: No left turns into the parking lot from 77 th Avenue from 7:30 am to 8:30 and again from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. Please enter from 135A Street. Please do not park in our neighbours parking lots Do not park on 77 th Ave. where the curb is yellow. Any parked cars in yellow curb areas could be ticketed. When crossing 77 th Avenue and the school parking lot use the marked cross walks. Be aware of our volunteers in the parking lot and the directing traffic and assisting pedestrians. CARPOOL G.A.D. Elementary School is encouraging carpool to reduce the number of auto mobiles used to drive students to our school. We encourage students to carpool together through partnerships between groups of parents. Parents can take turns picking up other kids, or have one parent designated to drive all kids. SCHOOL UNIFORMS It is important for your child(ren) to come to school in proper full school uniform. For P.E., Grades 5 to 9 students must wear the proper G.A.D. Elementary P.E. strip, which includes the GAD t-shirt. Kindergarten through Grade 4 students are just required to have proper running shoes for P.E., unless something more is required by the teacher. Constant uniform violations will result in strict disciplinary action. Please refer to the student planner for more uniform details. If you find that you are missing anything or need to update your child s uniform, you may purchase it from the school between 8:30 am 11:00 am. SPORTS Our school is pleased to welcome Vancouver international Tennis Academy! They will be providing lessons in our gym by a certified tennis coach. Please contact Sandeep Singh Rai at 604 763 4579 to arrange a complimentary lesson. https://vancouvertennisacademy.com/ 13479 77 th Avenue Surrey, BC V3W 6Y1 Phone: 604-595-0888 Fax: 604-595-0889 www.gadschool.com info@gadschool.com
Principal: M. S. Aulakh COMMUNICATION Communication between school, the teacher and home is very important. Please update the office with your current contact information, including address, phone and email. For current school events, please check your child s planner every day, read the monthly newsletter and visit the school website at www.gadschool.com To contact the teacher: You may write a note in your child s agenda, email the teacher, or leave a message at the front desk. The school phone number is 604-595-0888. Staff will endeavor to respond to messages within a 24-hour period on school days. To contact your child: Avoid classroom distractions that impact student learning by making all after school plans before the school day begins. Phone call reminders to children lead to interruptions of the instructional day. If you have items to give your child, please drop them off in the office and it will be delivered to your child s classroom. *We would like to request all parents to wait for their children in the cafeteria and not in the main lobby area so that the office can give help and support to those parents who are waiting. Thank you for your cooperation. * ORGANICS As with last year, we do not have organic bins in the classrooms as it is difficult to deal with fruit flies at such a large scale. As all the homeroom teachers have advised the students, all organic waste will be sent home. You may wish to send your child with a plastic bag or plastic container to store their organics in until they get home. The school encourages students to eat healthy snacks and lunches that include fruits and vegetables and to avoid bringing fast food, chips, candy to school. Encouraging healthy eating at a young age will help kids eat well later in life. Check out the website below for a few tips and tricks to help give your children the right amount and type of food they need to grow into healthy adults.
