Practice Lockdown

We had a school-wide practice lockdown today. Everyone did a great job at hiding out of view and being very quiet. If anyone has any questions about this practice, please contact Ms Couch or Mr. Miller.

School Grounds

This winter, we want to make plans for improving our school grounds starting next spring.
We value having input from our students, parents, and community.
We will have a meeting on Dec. 1 at 10:30 AM at the school.
Please contact the school (204-832-1359) if you are interested in attending the meeting or if you have any ideas or skills or supplies to offer.

Parent Council

We are still looking for a Treasurer for Parent Council.
Next meeting is on Tuesday, Nov. 25 at 6:30pm in the school Library.
All parents are welcome.

Outdoor Play & Cold Weather Policy

At Stevenson, we believe that play is important.

A healthy mind and healthy body go hand-in-hand. Outdoor recess is a time to connect with friends, and recharge through exercise. In this light, all students are expected to go outside for recess. 

Generally speaking, a child who is too sick to go outside at recess is too sick to benefit from attending school. We do not have indoor supervision for students during recess. Indoor recess is only permitted in exceptional circumstances. 

During severe weather conditions, as outlined by division policy, all students will be supervised indoors. When the wind chill hazard is at or colder than -28 degrees, students will not be permitted outdoors. When the wind chill hazard is between -25 degrees and -28 degrees students may go outdoors for a shorter outdoor recess, up to 10 minutes.  We call this shorter recess a "fresh air break". 

The same rule applies to our student safety patrols. We ask that in these cold weather conditions that parents assist with the safe arrival of your children to and from school. There will not be any student safety patrols on duty on these days.

Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather everyday as conditions often change throughout the day.  Many families also choose to send extra socks and/or mittens in their child's backpack for extra comfort when gear ends up wet.

Koats for Kids

Koats for Kids is an organization that helps families in need by providing winter outerwear. Coats, ski pants, hats and mittens are distributed through schools. We also have some hats, mitts and scarves at the school as well.

If your child or children are in need of winter clothing, please contact the school at 204-832-1359, and we will arrange to access needed winter wear for you.

If you have winter wear that you wish to donate, gently used outerwear can be dropped off at any Fire Paramedic Station or at Perth's. You can also send clean outerwear to the school and we will graciously use it for other Stevenson families in need.

Keep warm!
