NO NEWS YET FROM THE MINISTER OF
EDUCATION:
We are still waiting for news from the Minister of
Education about the District Education Councils
recommendation to merge Bath Elementary with Bath
Middle. So we do not know if we are moving nor
whether it is this year or another. When the
announcement is made, we will be sure to let you
know.
LAST DAY FOR STUDENTS:
The provincial last day is noon on June 19th. If we do
end up moving for the fall, I assume our students could
be done a bit earlier to allow for classroom and school
packing. Again…..will keep you posted.

Keep Safe in the Sun! Having fun in the sun is one of the best parts of
the spring and summer months, but it can also be
dangerous. Children can develop serious sunburns
or become dehydrated in the summer heat.
Sunburns and spending time in the sun without
sun protection has been found to increase the risk
of skin cancer later in life. You can use the
following safety tips to protect yourself and your
children from the sun:
Ensure there is some shade around play
areas or use a sun umbrella.
Children should wear a sun hat with a
wide brim and back flap, loose cotton
clothing, and 100% broad spectrum
sunglasses.
Use sunblock with at least 30 SPF on all
areas of exposed skin (don’t forget the
ears, nose, back of neck, and tops of feet).
Reapply sunblock every two hours, and
after swimming.
Encourage children to drink fluids (with
no added sugar), especially water.
Be a role-model for children and protect
yourself from the sun as well.
Signs of Heat Exhaustion:
Thirst
Fatigue
Stomach or leg cramps
Cool, moist skin
