We meet in the Learning Commons at Bob Edwards School on the last Tuesday of most months at 6:30 PM. Parents and guardians in our school community are welcome to join. The first School Council meeting of the 2023-24 school year will be on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at 6:30 PM. A Microsoft Teams link will be sent out closer to the date to be able to join the meeting virtually. The Bob Edwards School Council can be reached at bobeparentsfundraisingsociety@gmail.com

Weather Reminders 

• Please ensure your child is prepared for all weather conditions with outdoor clothing and footwear. 
• All students enjoy 20 minutes of fresh air at lunch and some physical education classes outside and this time is much more enjoyable if they are dressed for the weather. 
• With hot weather, please make sure your student comes to school with a water bottle and sun hat. 
• Students should not arrive at school prior to 8:40 am 
• Students should be picked up from school by 3:40 pm (There is no supervision outside of these times.) 

Student pick-up and drop-off procedures 

As a school, we thank you for your support in ensuring a safe environment for our students to come and go from school daily. We have close to 500 students who are trying to make their way home safely each day and for that reason, we do not permit drop-off and pick-up in the bus zone in front of the school. If you have another trusted adult meet your child after school, we ask that you remind them of this practice. Thank you for your care and attention to this in support of our students! 

Have a great weekend! We are looking forward to another wonderful week of teaching and learning! 

Sincerely, 

Bob Edwards School
