Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at CCS! We are excited to see everyone back at school this week. Most students will begin the school year on Tuesday. Kindergarten students have a staggered entry. If you have a kindergarten student, please refer to the letter that was sent to them from their teacher. The doors are open for students and buses unload at 7:50 and student learning begins at 8:05 immediately following morning announcements. Please ensure that your child arrives at school prior to 8:05.
All K-8 students end their instructional day at 2:25. Grades K-2 students will be brought to the front lobby at 2:25, at which time they can be picked up. Buses will leave CCS at 2:35 (5 minutes later than last year). After the buses leave, Grades 3-8 students who are being picked up or walking, will be dismissed. We asked that you stick to end of the day pick up times, unless your child has an appointment or something urgent comes up. Please notify your child’s teacher (with a written note) or contact the office (506-276-4000) if they are being picked up and this is not their usual routine. If we do not have word from you, the parent/guardian, your child will go on their usual after school bus.
All students are expected to bring a lunch to school every day. We will let you know when special lunches begin. Lunch time is a very busy time, especially for the younger students. Please ensure that your child has items that they can open and eat independently. Our cafeteria does have a limited number of microwaves to warm up items. DO NOT send items that need cooked (KD cups), only items that take 30 seconds to reheat. Also, please ensure that you pack cutlery for your child to eat with.
It is IMPORTANT for students to bring a water bottle to school daily in order to stay hydrated. Our school can get quite warm throughout the day. We have several water bottle filling stations throughout the school. They should also be reminded to take their water with them to the cafeteria to have something to drink with their lunch.
Please watch for several coloured forms coming home this week for you to fill out. Please return them to school promptly, as this will ensure that we have all the up-to-date information that we need at school.
On Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 we will be hosting a MEET THE STAFF, an opportunity for you to meet your child’s teacher and other staff members. We will be serving BBQ hot dogs. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Here is a link to our school website that has the school supply lists. School Supplies – Centreville Community School (nbed.ca) You will be able to pay school fees through school cash online. Watch for more details about how to do that. K-5 students must pay a 25$ student fee and Middle School students have a 40$ student fee (which includes a 15$ technology fee). Thanks for paying those at your earliest convenience.
If ever you have any questions or concerns, please call the school (506-276-4000) or reach out by email. Looking forward to a great year together!
