It was a short but busy week! Please make sure you read through the updated messaging, and please note our upcoming Recognition Assembly date has been added (Oct 28th). Don’t forget to sign up for our upcoming movie night, and the whole school and family trip to Shrek the Musical!
Staffing Updates
Please welcome to Gracefield Ms. Debra Ciazynski who will be the new secretary replacing Mrs. Dupuis starting on Wednesday! In Kindergarten, Mrs. Schatz will be continuing her position until November 20th at this point.
Fragrance/Scent Reduced Environment at Gracefield
At Gracefield, we are committed to maintaining a safe and healthy environment for all members of our school community. Some of our students and staff have sensitivities to fragrances and scented products, which can trigger serious health reactions such as asthma, allergies, migraines, or chemical sensitivities.
To support their well-being, we kindly ask that all visitors and students avoid wearing scented products when entering the school.
How You Can Help: be considerate of those with fragrance sensitivities; avoid using scented products while at school; if scented products must be used, apply them sparingly, as a general guideline, they should not be detectable more than an arm’s length away; talk to your child about the importance of maintaining a scent-reduced environment.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness, cooperation, and support in helping Gracefield remain a safe and inclusive space for everyone.

Intermediate Volleyball Update
Congratulations to our girls volleyball team on their great win last night! Way to go, girls!
Unfortunately, Woodland did not attend the boys' game because their coach was working from an outdated schedule. As a result, our boys will be awarded the win. Congratulations, boys! ha!

Thank you for your flexibility as we make a change to our upcoming schedule. We will no longer be playing on Thursday, October 22. Instead, both games will take place on Wednesday, October 21, at Briardale.
The girls will play first in the doubleheader, followed by the boys.
Thank you again for your continued support and flexibility. Go, Grey Hawks!
