Ice Skating - Gr. 1-5

Gr. 1-5 students are going Ice Skating on the last day of school before Christmas break! Thank you to the PAC who is sponsoring the bussing and facility costs. There is NO cost to parents for ice skating if your child has skates and a helmet they can bring from home, but we do NEED consent. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for skating. 

All students are expected to attend with their classes as teachers and staff will all be at the rink with us and there won’t be coverage at the school for students who don’t want to go. They can choose to sit in the team boxes if they need a break from skating, but we would love them to try. There are bars to skate with if needed and there will be a lot of us just starting out with a new set of skills. We can do it – together! 

Please complete consent in schoolcash for your child to participate in ice skating.

Skate & Helmet Rentals

Parents are asked to pay for skate rental and/or helmet rental costs if needed. Students need to wear a helmet and can bring their own or rent one there for $2.25. Due to this being a school event, helmets are required for all students on the ice. Skates can also be rented for $3.35 a pair. Please indicate your child’s shoe size.

Volunteers

We are asking for 2 Parent Volunteers per class. Please make sure you have completed the annual Volunteer Process & have an approved Criminal Record Check. Volunteers will be contacted by their child’s teacher.
