At 12:50, the recess bell will go for students to return to their classes. At this time, families need to pack up and free up the playground as this space will be used for our afternoon activities.

> Contingency plan for rain — Families may spread out throughout the school and have an indoor picnic with their children. All of our indoor spaces will be open to parents and students.

> If you are taking your child home after the picnic, you need to let the office know either by email, by phone or check in before you leave.

> Lost and Found — Please take a look at the tables in the foyer for any lost items.
We look forward to spending some time with you celebrating a successful school year.
