We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. We would like to thank you for making sure all outdoor footwear has been taken off at the doors!

Thank you to all the parents that brought in snacks and came into help with the Halloween parties, your help is greatly appreciated.

Our ongoing photo fundraiser has now begun and we will have Halloween pictures available to purchase for $1.00 each. These pictures will be posted by the sign in sheets and there is a container on Becky’s desk where you can place the money.

We will be closed Friday, November 11th of Remembrance Day.

Our Purdy’s fundraiser has gone out and is due back November 23rd.

The Epicure fundraiser has gone home and is due back November 25th. No late orders will be accepted so please have them back in time.

I have attached the meeting minutes from our General Meeting in October for your reference. Please email the board at if you have any concerns/questions or suggestions for the preschool.

The teachers are asking that if you have any old or extra magazines at home that you would like to get rid of to please donate them to the preschool for future projects. The teachers are also looking for “Frozen” wall decals with a boy and girl from the movie to place on our bathroom doors. If you have any at home, you would like to donate that would be greatly appreciated.

For any parents that may not be aware, Totem preschool has a Facebook page and will be posting events and updates on their page. If you are interested, we encourage you to like our page as this will keep you updated with what is going on in the school.

We ask that all parents please check their child’s cubby at the end of each day as they can get full in a hurry. Also, please check the lost and found for any of your child’s belongings that may have ended up in there as we will be donating what is left during Christmas break.

We also ask, as stated in the hand book that each child has a spare set of clothing in there backpack at all times. If an accident does occur and there are is no spare clothing for your child, you will receive a call to come and pick up your child immediately as the preschool does not supply spare clothing. This will also apply in the case of a child having a bowel movement.

We would also like to remind parents that pick up for your child is to be no later the 11:30 for the morning classes and 3:30 for the afternoon classes. If late pick ups occur, you will receive a letter home stating this issue and after three notices termination of your child’s spot may occur.

Please make sure your child comes with appropriate outdoor clothing as we do go outside up to -10 with the wind chill.

We will be having Pajama day on the 24th and 25th. Please come to school in your PJ’s!!

If you have questions or concerns regarding your child at the preschool the teachers are available to speak with between 3:30-4 if you would like to set up a meeting with them. If that does not work for you are able to email the board at anytime with questions or concerns at .

We are currently seeking donations for our yearly raffle. If you own a company or work for one that may be interested in making a donation to our raffle, please let us know. We do lots of advertising for our raffle and can provide a donation receipt if necessary. If you have any questions regarding this, please come and see Becky in the office.
