Oki, Tansi, Bonjour, and Hello to our wonderful school community, 

It's incredible how quickly September has passed by, filled with numerous enriching events and opportunities for our students and families here at Dr. J.K. Mulloy School. From our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation assembly to the Terry Fox Run, Open House Meet the Teacher, and all the engaging classroom activities, we've been busy fostering a strong sense of community and excellence in learning. As we transition into the autumn season, I wanted to share some important reminders and exciting upcoming events with you. 

1. Dressing for Calgary Weather: As the weather changes, please ensure your children are dressed appropriately for all that Calgary's climate may bring. Layers, warm jackets, and suitable footwear will help them stay comfortable as we transition into cooler temperatures. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. 

2. Safety First: The safety of our students is our utmost priority. Please be mindful when dropping off or picking up your children at school. Always watch for children using the crosswalks and avoid engaging in illegal U-turns or parking in unauthorized areas. Your cooperation helps maintain a safe environment for everyone. 

3. Upcoming October Highlights: We have a fantastic month ahead, filled with exciting learning events and opportunities to continue building our school's sense of community. Here are some highlights for October: 

  • Elev8 Lacrosse for Grade 3 and Grade 4: We're excited to introduce lacrosse to our students, offering them a chance to explore a new sport. 

  • Student Advisory Committee: Our first Student Advisory Committee meeting is on the horizon, giving our students a platform to voice their ideas and concerns. 

  • School Council and School Enhancement Society Meetings: Join us on October 12th at 6:30 pm, either online or in person, for our School Council and School Enhancement Society meetings. Your involvement and input are valued. 

  • Fun Lunch and Popcorn Days: Our first Fun Lunch and Popcorn Days are just around the corner, adding some extra fun to our school days. 

  • Alberta Musical Theatre: We have an exciting opportunity for students to explore the world of musical theatre. Stay tuned for details!

We look forward to your continued support and involvement in our vibrant school community. Together, we can make Dr. J.K. Mulloy School an even more amazing place for our students to achieve personal excellence and develop as a learning community. 

Thank you for entrusting us with your children's education and well-being. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. 

Wishing you a fantastic October filled with learning, joy, and community!
