OUTDOOR FIRE DRILL
Sometime this coming week, we will be helping students practice what to do if the fire bell rings while they are already outside. Each class has a designated spot on the field where they must line up during a fire drill. Students and teachers normally practice going to this spot from inside the school, but this week we will practice going there from outside.
The drill will take place between 9:12 and 9:15 a.m., after students arrive at school and while they are still wearing their outdoor clothing. Teachers will meet students at their usual morning lineup spots by their regular entry doors before the drill begins.
If you drop off your children, we kindly ask that you leave the school grounds during the practice. This helps reduce distractions and allows students and staff to complete the drill smoothly.
Teachers will talk to students ahead of time so they know that this practice will happen sometime during the week.
CHANGE OF SCHOOL DESIGNATION FOR CARRINGTON FAMILIES FOR THE 2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR

We ask all Carrington families to refer to this email or visit the news story at https://northernlights.cbe.ab.ca/news/school-designation-changes-for-carrington-20251204212451 for important information.
DECEMBER’S “WEDNESDAY FESTIVE WINTER WEAR DAYS”
Each Wednesday this December, we will have ‘Wednesday Festive Winter Wear Days’. Students are invited to wear festive sweaters, t-shirts, hats, headbands, socks, etc. Anything festive that they would like to wear on that day is great. (This is optional.)
EXTRA MITTENS, GLOVES AND SOCKS
Students are outside in the snow a lot during the day. In addition to the outdoor clothing that we ask they arrive at school at each day (including snow pants, snow boots, mittens or gloves, hats and a warm coat), please pack extra mittens, gloves and socks in the backpack they get wet during the day.
