Announcements Wednesday, October 28, 2020
We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the traditional ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

From Mr. Lewis:
October is Mi’kmaq History Month. The purpose is to promote public awareness about the Mi’kmaq culture and heritage to the people of Nova Scotia. Take a look around the school to see the Mi'kmaq History Month poster.

During entry to the building, please remember to line up in orderly fashion, masks on, social distancing in place to be able to re-enter the building – masks have to be worn outside when you are not 2 meters apart.

More friendly Homeroom competition for homeroom points this week. Homeroom teachers, please report to me the numbers of students participating in your homerooms this week on Thursday and Friday.
• Thursday "orange and black or Halloween clothes" day.
• Friday "costume day" (no face coverings/masks besides your Covid mask and no weapons in costumes)

Parents/Guardians:
The new bussing distance for Ellenvale is 2.2km. If you live less than 2.2km from Ellenvale, students are walkers. However, you can apply for an unassigned seat on a bus by calling the HRCE Bus Planner at 431-4723. You will need your child’s student ID number which you can find on PowerSchool or you can call the school office.

Please regularly check your child for nits or head lice. Children with nits or head lice must receive the first of two treatments before returning to school. Please notify the school if your child has head lice or nits. A copy of the NS Department of Health and Wellness pamphlet, How to Prevent, Find and Treat Head Lice can be found at:
