Remembrance Day Assembly- Friday, November 8th
Bridlewood School’s Remembrance Day assembly will be held on Friday, November 8th and will begin promptly at 10:45. Parents and guardians are most welcome to attend, please ensure you arrive no later than 10:40, so that the assembly can commence without interruption, thank you. Poppies will be distributed to students prior to the assembly. Students are invited to make a small money donation for the Poppy Fund to support Canada’s veterans. Remembrance Day is on Monday, November 11, and there is no school on this day.

Cold Weather Days! 
We are already experiencing a number of cold weather days for the winter season. The CBE's policy is "when temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including the wind-chill factor, it is recommended that students be kept inside for recess or lunch breaks. The -20 Celsius guideline is comparable to other school jurisdictions in Alberta and across Canada." We rely on the Weather Network and monitor the temperature throughout the day, knowing we will adjust our decision for the morning/afternoon and lunch hour recesses. As always, we ask parents to ensure the students are dressed appropriately for the weather. We are encouraging students to wear their warm coats, hats, mitts, and boots.

After School Plans 
It’s always important for students to know what to do if their caregiver may be running late and isn’t there to pick up them up after school, especially when the weather is cold. At school, teachers have reminded students to come back into the school to the office for assistance in this situation. Please be sure to have a reminder discussion with your child about what to do on the rare occasion that this might happen.
