Mission

To provide a safe and caring environment

where we work together to be the best that

we can be.

Vision

The effectiveness of our school is

determined on the basis of the conduct,

character, and achievement of our school

community in an exemplary school we

demonstrate:

Compassion

… by being kind with the ability to understand

and respond appropriately to the feelings of

others

Respect

… by treating others as they would like to be

treated and appreciating diversity so they

can bring out the best in themselves and

others

Excellence

… by always trying their best at everything

they do

Safety

… by knowing the difference between right

and wrong to protect themselves and others

from getting hurt

Values

In order to advance our shared vision of an

exemplary school, we will:

*Provide an inviting classroom environment for

students. An environment with clear

expectations, consistent consequences, and

specific, articulated, academic goals.

*Help all students achieve the intended

outcomes of curriculum by addressing their

individual needs and learning styles.

*Use methods of assessment that enable us to

monitor the learning of individual students.

*Collaborate with others and our students so

that we can achieve our collective goals

more efficiently.

*Demonstrate our commitment to going on

professional development and self-

improvement as professionals.

*Promote a positive school environment by

modeling the qualities and characteristics

that we hope to instill in our students.

*Involve parents/guardians in the

education of their children by keeping them

informed of student progress and offering

suggestions for assisting their children.

Principal’s Message:

Hello October and Happy Fall or perhaps winter – YIKES!

September has passed in a flash and it feels like summer is long gone.

Students need to remember to dress appropriately for the changing

weather. A pair of splash pants for this wet weather would be

appreciated.

A focus in September at CRES is teaching and reminding all of our

BOBCAT family about our virtues. We all experience more success as

we focus on our four virtues: Compassion, Respect, Excellence, and

Safety. The grade 3’s and 4’s did a fantastic job reviewing our four

virtues at our first Munchkin Motivators assembly. We also learned a

new BOBCAT cheer that we can practice and use to encourage our

friends at future events. The Grade 4 class has created books for our

Kindergarten students and have spent some time with them teaching

our newest BOBCATS our school virtues and expectations. It is great to

see our student leaders engaging with younger students and sharing

their knowledge.

As always, my door is always open if you have any questions, kudos,

or concerns.

your eyes posted for other events throughout the year. Have a great year!

Creative Kids provides financial assistance for children to participate in the same art and cultural

activities as their peers, regardless of a family’s social and financial barriers. We commonly fund

activities such as music lessons, dance classes, and art lessons, and families may apply to Creative

Kids for up to $750 per child, per year, to participate in creative activities. We believe every child

should have an opportunity to participate in creative activities, which are fundamental to the

positive growth and development of children and youth; and that cultural programming is critical to

a healthy, vibrant community.

Families facing financial barriers may apply to Creative Kids for their children and youth to participate

in the same arts and cultural activities as their friends. Up to $750 per child, per year is available for

children aged 4 - 19.

Most families approved for funding have gross annual incomes of less than $40,000, although families

with higher incomes have been supported depending on individual circumstances. Applications are

assessed individually primarily on a family’s financial need. Youth living independently may also

apply.

For more information contact 1- 306-780-9361 or http://www.creativekidssask.ca

Our parent feature this month is an overview of ‘Growth Mindset”. Growth mindset shifts our focus

to believing we can grow our brains, learn new things even when they are difficult, making mistakes

helps us learn, and we may not know how to do something “YET”.

Please obey the rules of Safety Patrol!

This includes using the crosswalks, no

jaywalking, and waiting for the whistle.

Please remember these are volunteer

students and captains and they are

trying their best. Thanks.

Please do not drop students off in the bus

loop before school as buses will be coming

in and out of the parking lot side of the

school. In addition, please do not drive into

the bus loop until after 3:40 after ALL of the

buses have left for the day. If you are

involved in after school activities such as

dance please be patient and wait to drive

in or park on Main Street. The safest spot to

drop students off and pick students up is on

the south side of the school by Main Street.

The town recently added an additional

sidewalk, which further enhances drop-off

and pick-up zones.

If students need to be picked up during the

school day for any reason including, but not

limited to, doctor’s appointments, sporting

events, music lessons, illness, or family trips,

please arrange with the classroom teacher

and pick them up at the classroom door. As

a school, we are not allowed to send

students home on their own during class

time or send them out of the building unless

accompanied by an adult. This ensures

they stay safe and we appreciate your

cooperation.

Throughout the school year, we ask you to please keep your

child(ren) at home if they have a terrible cough, fever, and/or

have vomited or had diarrhea in the last day. This is important

to keep our school family safe. We do have members of our

CRES family dealing with compromised immune systems so this

is extremely important. Children have difficulty learning when

they are under the weather and a day or two of rest is best for

them to be ready to learn.

PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL AT 768-2481 IF YOUR CHILD WILL

NOT BE AT SCHOOL. THANK YOU!
