Good afternoon families. We hope that your weekend is going well. Buenas tardes, familias. Esperamos que tengan un buen fin de semana.

Please note that this is the last week of school prior to Winter Break and below is the last Colts’ Community Chronicle of 2025. The next weekly message home will be sent on Sunday, January 4 at 12:00 pm to prepare families for the return to school in 2026. We hope that you have a wonderful Winter Break.

A couple of things to note:

  • The parking lot of the school should not be used as a place to drop off or pick up students before and after school unless a student has mobility issues. There have been several close calls with pedestrians so please make arrangements with your children that involve alternate drop off and pick up locations.
  • This week is Winter Spirit Week. We would encourage students to wear the following this week:
    • Monday, December 15 – Fun Socks Day
    • Tuesday, December 16 – Dress Like a Teacher Day
    • Wednesday, December 17 – Colour by Grade Day
      • Grade 7s wear red
      • Grade 8s wear green
      • Grade 9s wear blue
    • Thursday, December 18 – Festive Hat Day
    • Friday, December 19 – Holiday Sweater Day
    • Should students be wearing the above items on the day, they can stop by the main office and enter a draw for a prize

The last period of the day will include a celebration of students at A.E. Cross and an opportunity for students to see some of their teachers receive pies to the face. It should be an excellent way to celebrate the last day of school.
