Announcements Monday, November 2, 2020
We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the traditional ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

From Mr. Lewis:
A reminder to students and parents that Public Health Guidelines encourage schools to have students outside as much as possible; this includes during the instructional day and at lunch. It is important for students to be dressed properly for fall and winter weather as we will be spending the majority of lunch hours outside, unless it is otherwise unsafe to do so. EJH will be following the HRCE Wind Chill Protocol to make decisions about when students will be outside. Students are only brought in side if the windchill is more than -21, although we do take into account other weather factors and may choose to bring students in if the weather is really icy/wet/cold. Coats, hats, mittens, proper foot wear and gloves are recommended. Please contact the school if you are having difficulty with winter gear as we have some articles of clothing available.

Parents/Guardians:
This morning there were 10 students marked unexcused absent. That is a lot of phone numbers to call (up to 6 each) and emails to send (at least 2) looking for students to ensure their safety. Please remember to call 435-8420 (press 1 for the safe arrival line) to report your student arriving late or excused absent. This number can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Thank you!

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:
