Important Reminders

Measuring Body Temperature

If you have a digital thermometer that you are willing to send in a ziploc bag with your child's name we would love to be able to meausure our body temperatures this week. The thermometers at school work ok but not the best for accuracy. They are ok for hot and cold water or ice water but not so accurate under an armpit! If you have one you are willing to let your child use at school and then return please send it ASAP. 
Thank you for your support. 



Dear Parents and Guardians of Grades 1, 2 & 3 students,

We are excited to be offering Wonder Hour Clubs at Royal Oak School in April and May.  Wonder Hour is an opportunity for students to engage for one hour in cross-grade, co-curricular activities in an area that interests them!  They will take place during Friday on April 3, 17, and 24 and May 1, 8, and 29.  Students will have an opportunity to select their top three Wonder Hour choices during class next week. We are hoping that you can take the time to read and discuss the Wonder Hour descriptions with your child so they can make an informed decision next week. We would like to thank the Royal Oak School Fundraising Society for supporting supplies required to run successful clubs!

Sincerely,

Royal Oak School
