Godi Enı̨thł’è - le 5 au 12 janvier, 2024
Happy 2024! We are back into the swing of things at École Įtł’ǫ̀. Thank you for staying on top of the school news. We would also like to remind everyone that Friday January 19th is a non-instructional day, and there is no school for students. Here's the rest of the news for this week...
New This Week...
Subway Day
Our next Subway Day is Thursday January 11th. If you would like to place an order on behalf of your child, please do so using this link. Orders must be submitted no later than 6:00 PM on Monday, January 8th.
Thank You For Making A Difference
The Northwest Territories Teachers' Association is running its annual ‘Thank You For Making A Difference’ campaign. This is an opportunity to nominate someone at the school who has made a difference. Students, parents and community members are welcome to recognize someone. To do so, please fill out the form provided (English version) (French version) and thank someone who has made a difference for them. All forms are then entered into a draw that happens at the end of the month.
West Coast Seeds Sale Fundraiser
Our West Coast Seeds fundraiser application has been approved! The fundraiser sale will be from 3 Jan 2024 - 3 Feb 2024 with 40% of all sales going to our school’s PAC! This year there will be a larger selection of seeds to choose from. Please use the link below to order.
Website: https://fundraising.westcoastseeds.com/collections/all
All orders will be shipped in bulk at the end of the sale for organization. Once that has taken place, we post additional information to our website on the distribution of your individual orders. This is a great way to get ready for the new gardening season while also supporting our school!
Draft School Calendar for 2024/2025
The next school year's calendar is currently being developed. There are calendars available for JK-8 (available here) and 9 though 12 (available here). This is your opportunity to comment upon the proposed calendar! The final draft will be considered by the YK1 Trustees at their monthly meeting later in January. If you have thoughts on the proposed calendar, please send them by email to bronwyn.mcphail@yk1.nt.ca.
Reminders...
Breakfast Program - Volunteers Needed for January!
The Ecole Itlo Breakfast Program is looking for volunteers! Breakfast is offered every morning to all students in the school kitchen. Parent volunteers are needed every morning from 7:45-8:45 am to set up, serve, and clean up after breakfast. It is a lovely way to get to know the school community.
All volunteers must complete a Vulnerable Sector Check. If your most recent check is over a year old, you will need to renew it. If this is the case, please contact the front office and Mme Laura can draft a letter for you to take to the RCMP to get the check completed.
If you are able to help out, please indicate your availability on this sign up sheet, which also has a link with more information about how the program runs. You can email the Parent Advisory Council (itlopac@gmail.com) with any questions. As well, please consider joining our Facebook group (Ecole Itlo PAC) to stay updated about upcoming school and PAC events.
