We would like to remind our parents
of the importance of calling the
school to advise of a child’s absence
from class, especially with the colder weather upon us.
The safety of our students is of the utmost importance and it also helps to
maintain accurate attendance information for your child’s records. If we do
not receive a phone call or a note, our School Messenger phone system will
start calling all students marked ‘absent without reason’ at 9:30 A.M. and
1:30 P.M. The order of calling starts with the home number & will continue
with all phone numbers on file for parents, guardians and all emergency
contacts.
(For parents of students in Grades 7 & 8, if you receive an absence call or
email reporting of your child missing “period 3” it is in reference to shops
class at RDPC. The same message above for students in Grades 6 thru 8
for an absence in “period 9” refers to your child missing band or choir at
RDPC.) We thank you for your help!
A big thank you to all students, parents and staff who helped support Terry’s Run for a
Cure by bringing in donations during September’s fundraising!
We reached our goal of $1000 and raised $1012.85 towards cancer research in
Canada.
Terry Fox would be proud of all the Dragons who brought in donations!
Great Job Everyone!
Family and friends are welcome to join
us for our Remembrance Day

Mrs. Beck
If you have not already done so, please take a moment to review
your child’s demographic sheet (golden) that was sent home in
September. These forms are sent home at the beginning of every
school year to ensure we have current and updated contact
information on file. In the event that your child is not well or we
need to touch base for other reason, it is important that we are
able to make a connection with home. Follow the instructions at
the top of the form, sign and return to the office as requested.
If you have already done so, thank you. If you have misplaced the form and
require a new one to be sent home, please let the secretary know and she will issue
a new one.
Parents & Visitors, PLEASE report to the
office anytime you are in the building!
The safety of our students is up to
all of us!

staff & students of Deerwood School continue to help raise money through the “Tabs for
Wheelchairs” program in an effort to help purchase wheelchairs for those in need in Thompson this

to Juniper School!
On November 21st, 2019, Skills Manitoba will welcome 12 gr. 6 students from each of the Thompson schools to 'Trades and Technology Olympics'.

Students will be exposed to at least 8 trades and technology careers; engineering, baking, mechanics, technologies, electrical wiring,
plumbing, sewing & transportation.
A light lunch will be served to program participants and advisors/teachers.

Monthly Practice:
A Few Simple Mindfulness Exercises
Come Back
When you catch yourself being caught up in worries about the future or guilt and regret about the past, just notice that
it is happening and simply and kindly say to yourself, “Come back.” Then take a calming breath and focus on what you
are doing right now.
Three Senses
Another helpful mindfulness trick is simply to notice what you are experiencing right now through three senses – sound,
sight, touch. Take a few slow breaths and ask yourself:
What are three things I can hear? (clock on the wall, car going by, music in the next room, my breath)
What are three things I can see? (this table, that sign, that person walking by)
What are three things I can feel? (the chair under me, the floor under my feet, my phone in my pocket)
Think of these answers to yourself slowly, one sense at a time. It’s impossible to do this exercise and not be
present and mindful!

Food Allergies, what are they?
A food allergy is when the body’s immune system reacts to a protein in food as being harmful and
causes an allergic reaction. This is why everyone needs to be very careful when packing school lunches
and snacks.
-Read food labels and avoid sending foods that contain nuts
-Discourage your children from sharing their food at school
-Encourage your children to wash their hands before and after eating
-Please inform the school of any allergies.
For more information, please visit Food Allergy Canada at https://foodallergycanada.ca/
