Dear Students and Parents,
Hello and welcome to a new school year at Blake Street Public School. I am looking forward to meeting/reconnecting with students and their families.
In an effort to save paper, I will be communicating electronically for most classroom announcements and updates. I will be using a website http://iloveschool.xyz to share announcements, important reminders, and upcoming events. The site will evolve as the year continues.
Email is my preferred way to communicate if you have questions, need to share information or provide any feedback – steven.richman@tdsb.on.ca. I will also be available for in person meetings and phone conversations, you can call the school to contact me at (416) 393-9415 .
If you could PLEASE help me by filling out this form: https://forms.gle/pyzS9SuPNao7RZeC7 All information will be kept confidential. I know you have already submitted this info to the office, however, it is on many different forms and would take a long while for me to collect it all. I have also put the link to this form on the front page of the http://iloveschool.xyz website so you can click the link.
What to bring?
***Students are to bring their agenda to and from school each day. It will be a daily log of news, updates, homework and notes. This year students will get their agendas signed each day by myself before leaving and they need to be signed by a caregiver each night. Please support this system so we can have clear communication throughout the year.
• Students will need lunch each day, or a note if they are heading home for lunch.
• Students will need a REUSABLE bottle of water – filled each day.
• Students will need to bring running shoes for gym. During wet and snowy weather students will need indoor and outdoor shoes. These can be stored at school.
• Please label students clothes and belongings in order to help keep it from getting lost.
• Please remember to label your child’s lunch bags, snack bags and all food containers as well as clothes and belongings.
• HEALTHY snacks are encouraged.
• Please no peanut or nut products.
I look forward to a great year of learning.
Sincerely,
Steven Richman
