The St. James Assiniboia School Division is offering an evening of learning for parents of children born in 2011 (starting Kindergarten next September). Please share this information with friends and neighbours who may be interested.

Great Walk To School Day

Thanks to all the families who were able to bring their children to Rod's Football Field for our annual Walk to School Day. Remember, October is Walk To School Month. We encourage everyone to take active and safe routes to school in every season.

We have a new Constable as our School Resource Officer. Thanks for joining us on our walk, Constable Alana!

Report to the Community

Each year, all schools in the St. James-Assiniboia School Division create a Report to the Community which summarizes accomplishments from the previous school year and plans for the current year.  Stevenson School's 2015-2016 Report to the Community is now available for viewing on our website: Stevenson Home Page.

Walk To School Day

October is Walk to School Month. In celebration of this, Stevenson is having its annual Walk to School Day on Thursday, October 8. We will meet at the Rod’s Football field at 8:35am (Silver Ave. and Ferry Rd.). We will walk along the north side of Silver Ave. to the school. If your child is bussed to school, the bus will drop the students off at the field to join in the walk. Staff will be there to supervise students. Families, please feel free to join us in our walk to school. Once we arrive at the school, we will have a brief assembly to start our day together outside.

Plastic Bag Round Up

Over the past 7 years, elementary schools in Manitoba have collected almost six million plastic bags which have been recycled into special items for their school, such as benches, bird houses, planters and frisbees. Once again, Stevenson School is participating in this challenge. Please send in all types of plastic bags that are ready to be recycled. Groceries bags, shopping bags, ziplock bags, bread bags, produce bags and more are all accepted. Please help our school to protect our environment by sending in bags. The challenge runs from Oct. 1st to 30th. Thank you for your help. For more information, you can check out the Take Pride site: http://www.takepride.mb.ca/?pid=73

Community Management of Head Lice

Head lice commonly occur in young children and as such, at the beginning of the school year, it is good practice to remind parents about detection and management.  The best way to detect and manage head lice is for parents to check their children's heads on a regular basis throughout the year.  The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority has prepared information for parents available here and here.  Parents may also contact a public health nurse at 204-940-2040.
