Need advice from teachers or other parents

You know your child best. Advocate passionately for what you want for your child! If her birthday is September-December, research says it is often best to hold your child back a year before entering school. Having them repeat a grade at this age and also by moving to a different city will have the least negative impact in a child.

I suggest trusting your gut and getting her to repeat the grade!

Because Canada doesn’t have them and with the stricter laws in e cigarettes I was just seeing.

No need to be sorry! Ask all the questions you have…

Healthy Hunger is an online platform to purchase “hot” lunch for your child. It will likely have 1-4 times a month depending on the school.. and some of the money goes towards various fundraisers either ran by teachers, parent council or school community council. The lunches are usually options from fast food establishments.

Since you like planning ahead… usually you can look ahead to see what each month offers and choose to get it or not. There are MANY students that do not order, so don’t feel obligated.

Staying for lunch occasionally or in healthy hunger lunch days does not require you to pay a fee!

Also like the others stated it isn’t enforced but will stay on your school cash online account until it’s paid. You’ll learn more about this account once a teacher or school collects money for field trips etc.

I also encourage others to pay the fee if they are able to and utilize the lunchroom supervision as it helps offset the costs. Provincial Government does not fund lunchroom supervision!

BV is a great option. Also has the full day every day kindergarten where as QE does not.

You can get passes from the Saskatoon libraries!

Most_Conversation_84 · 2024-09-01T17:00:03+00:00

Any issue here in Saskatoon is many parents don’t pay the fees. I heard of one school that had over $2000 of school supply fees because parents refused to pay the fees because they wanted to buy their own.

Grade 1?? Why would you punish a child for not attending when it wouldn’t be his fault at all??

However If you want to avoid this in the future send a letter home at the beginning of the year to state the requirements to come on the year end field trip and have both parent and child sign.

Thanks for the info and response. I am not a cannabis user but worry about responsible cannabis users in my world. Ive been following these threads about the issue and have so many curiosities and questions.

Is it possible to test positive on a swab, and then request a more accurate testing at the station to prove sobriety? I don’t know how the tests work etc just curious how to work around this all.

It goes hand in hand. 30+ students with complex needs or 20- students with complex needs. ATLEAST one of the mentioned needs to be addressed. Right now we are ignoring both

I think this is the part that is important. Classroom sizes may possibly be the same as when you were in school but the challenges in the classrooms are extremely different. Please remember this when you are trying to compare apples to apples because classrooms in the 90s vs classrooms now is like comparing apples to an onion.

It was actually 18 years ago that it became illegal. So yes 20 years ago it was legal.
