The next Healthy Hunger Fun Lunch Day is Thursday, May 9 – orders will need to be in by Saturday, May 4tto participate. If you missed getting your order in, we would ask that you please SEND a lunch in your child’s backpack rather than dropping one off at the school office. Please note that snacks are NOT provided on Fun Lunch days so please ensure to still send snacks on these days like any other day.

Attendance
For absences or lates, please ensure that you phone the absence line at 403-817-3504, ext. 1. This is our preferred method of notifying us as we cannot check emails at all times.
For extended absences more than 5 days, you will need to fill out this form prior to the student's absence - see link: Extended Absence Form
With the spring weather (here’s hoping), students are walking or riding their bikes to school. If your child takes the bus, we would ask that you let the office know so that we are not holding up the bus for attendance.
Also, if your child is in daycare or afterschool care, please let them know if your child is absent or has other plans as they also do attendance for their programs. Children Come First is our afterschool care and their phone number is (587) 228-4797. PLEASE NOTE: We would appreciate if you would contact them directly so that daycare is not looking for your child afterschool.
Late Students
This is a friendly reminder that our doors open for all students at 7:45 am and instructional/classroom time starts at 8:00 am. Efforts made to have students at school before 8:00am with enough time to get in their classroom for an 8:00 am start time are greatly appreciated.
Prepared for the Weather
Please ensure that your children are dressed for the weather. Even if it is not raining or snowing, children will need to wear a jacket or raincoat and rain boots as there are a lot of puddles and mud outside. Also, it would be very helpful if children had some extra clothes in their backpack at this time of year as we do not have extra in the school office.
Volunteering at Ken Taylor School
We welcome volunteers in the classroom, on field trips and with certain tasks at school or at home. If you are interested in volunteering, please note that we will not be processing any applications for the month of June.
Moving?
We are already in the process of planning for September 2024. If you are planning on moving, please let the office know as soon as possible. Students who are currently attending Kenneth D Taylor School may submit a Transfer Requestrequesting a transfer to the new designated school, due to an address change.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend full of sunshine!!
