What's Happening at Perth Road Public School
Friday, September 4, 2026
A Wonderful Start!
We have had a fantastic first few days of school! Students are settling into routines, reconnecting with friends, and getting to know their teachers and classmates. It has been wonderful to see so many smiling faces in our hallways and on the playground.
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Thank you for helping make our arrival and dismissal procedures run smoothly. A few reminders:
- Please use designated drop-off and pick-up areas.
- If your child's dismissal plan changes, please contact the office before the end of the school day.
Bus Safety
As students become familiar with their bus routines, we encourage families to review bus safety expectations at home:
- Stay seated at all times.
- Use quiet voices.
- Follow the driver's instructions.
- Wait safely away from the road while waiting for the bus.
Classroom Learning Begins
This week, classes are focusing on:
- Building classroom communities
- Establishing routines and expectations
- Team-building activities
- Goal setting for the year
- Diagnostic assessments that help teachers plan instruction
Stay Connected
Please ensure you fill out the paperwork sent home this week. We need current:
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Emergency contacts
- Medical information
Have a wonderful long weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday!
Cross Country Running
Cross country running will begin soon! Tell your child in grade 3 to 8, to listen to the announcements for the signups this week. Practices will begin soon and a schedule will be shared and posted once it is confirmed. All practices take place during the school day, during one of the breaks. Looking forward to another season of running! Mrs. Aylesworth and Mrs. Shire (your coaches)
JOIN AN AMAZING TEAM!
We invite you to our first School (Parent) Council meeting on Monday, September 14th. Being a part of our School Council gives you updates on what is going on at the school and allows you to have your voice heard. Fundraising is another part of the committee. You can volunteer for as little or as much as you'd like! If you attended our Fun Fair in June 2026 you will see the amazing things our committee plan. Perth Road Public School is a community school that thrives on get togethers and celebrations.
