It was wonderful to see so many families at our movie night, and at our Halloween parade. The kids had a great day today. Thank you to the School Council for hosting the movie night, and to the Student Council for hosting the in-school activities. Happy Halloween! I hope you have a fun and safe weekend!
Gracefield Call for Volunteers!
We have two upcoming events that we need volunteers for! Please consider helping at our Book Fair at the end of November, or at our Council Holiday Family Event on Wednesday, December 16th. Please sign up using this form: Volunteer Sign Up Fall 2026
Please make sure you have completed your Volunteer Declaration for this year, and have applied for the Criminal Record Check this year or last school year. We require a copy of your Criminal Record check in the office - so if you haven’t sent this in yet, please do so ASAP.
Looking forward to seeing you at these upcoming events!
Remembrance Day
As we approach November, we have begun planning for our Remembrance Day Assembly. We hope you can join us for the ceremony on Wednesday November 11th. The ceremony will begin around 10:40 am, so please plan to arrive around 10:30 am.
Gracefield has traditionally done a photo slideshow of Gracefield Family veterans. If you have a photo and a veteran story you would like to share, please email them directly to Mrs. Di Roma. Please note that the slideshow used in previous years is not accessible, and we will be making a new slideshow from scratch - so please send in your photos and story even if you have already done this in past years.
Lunchroom Supervision - Looking for Supply Supervisors!
Gracefield PS, and Woodland down the street, are looking to create a roster of supply lunchroom supervisors. You would need to apply with your resume and a criminal record check would be required for this position (the paid version, not volunteer version). Please apply at https://careers.dsbn.org/LRSPostings/.
