On May 31st, Ecole Springfield School was fortunate to have Allan and Ann Koski from Willow Point Land Based Learning come set up and do some tipi teachings. They were so generous in sharing their knowledge and stories with our kindergarten through grade four students. Even the rain couldn't dampen our spirits, as inside the tipi we were cozy and dry!
UPDATE: OCTOBER 30 AFTER SCHOOL BUSING AND PARENT PICKUP
As you may be aware, there is a fire at an apartment building near Springfield Elementary School. While all of our students are safe, the fire response has made our bus loop inaccessible.
STUDENTS WHO RIDE A BUS HOME: Our staff will walk these students through the green space behind the school and Sugar Plum Daycare facility to Ecole Quatre Vents where they will be able to board their regular bus. These students may arrive at home slightly later than usual, but should otherwise experience no disruption to their bus service.
STUDENTS WHO ARE PICKED UP BY PARENTS/GUARDIANS: Peace River Fire has closed access to 99 Street at 77 Avenue. Please note there is no through route once you are on 99 Street. Please utilize the staff parking area at the south side of the school to pick up your students.
INTER-SCHOOL BUSING: Students who are regularly dropped off at Springfield Elementary will be dropped off at EQV today, with the exception of students who attend Good Shepherd. If you would like to pick up your student, please be aware that this area will be more congested than usual.
Students who travel between Good Shepherd and Springfield after school will need to be picked up at Good Shepherd. All other Interschool students who are normally dropped off at Springfield will be dropped off at EQV.
STUDENTS WHO ARRIVE AT DAYCARE BY BUS: Unfortunately we are unable to drop these students off at the daycare today. These students will remain at their school and will need to be picked up by their parent/guardian.
