PARENTS OF OPEONGO STUDENTS

The school year is off to a great start, with lots of things happening.

This year we welcomed a new First Nation Tutor, Virginia- Sarazin Lazenby has joined me at Opeongo, replacing Josh Tippins who went on to further his educational experiences. Virginia is a former student and has settled in well at Opeongo assisting our students in their classes. With that being said, this position is funded through Kagita Makim, Pikwakanagan, and The Renfrew County District School Board.

Students are required to have a Social Insurance Number before the end of Grade 9. I encourage parents of any Pikwakanagan students to please get a number and please send it to me at ellisj@rcdsb.on.ca, or you can text me at 613-401-2550.

Mid-term report cards were sent home with the students on November 18th, any concerns please feel to contact the school.

Exams will be in January so attendance needs to be good this month as the term will end. We have a great amount of students in extracurricular sports this year which is great to see. Parents are always welcome to attend student games.

Some of our students have been helping out at EDPS with the Math project, assisting students and staff with bead looming. I am encouraging students, especially Graduates to get your community service hours in. Our Graduates are busy applying to Post Secondary programs, and we wish them well. Judy Ellis, Aboriginal School Support Counsellor

SAFETY TIPS

Christmas Holidays are approaching again.

We need to be safe at all times.

Know your fire escape plan.

Smoke alarms save lives.

Know where to place them in all rooms for your safety

Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed in your

basement by your furnace room, and one by the

stairwell in your basement.

Smoke & Carbon Monoxide alarm saves lives.

BE SAFE.

Season’s Greetings from

Pikwakanagan Fire/Rescue.
