Welcome back to school GCS Family!
I hope you all had a wonderful summer and were able to spend time with your families. I am looking forward to being back in the classroom this fall and continuing in-person learning!
A Note About Your Teacher:
This is my fourth year as part of the GCS family! I am from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and I have yet to get used to the humidity! Most students have met me before and will start their year with a familiar face. My goal for this year is to prepare students to be spiritually, academically, and emotionally ready for their transition into junior high school.
Theme Verse:
Our theme verse for the year is from the book of Romans, chapter 15, verse 13:
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit”.
Class Schedule:
Students will be given a paper class schedule to put into their agendas. Students will also be given one to take home.
Pickup/Drop off for Students:
This year will be the same as last year with regards to the drop-off procedure and start/end of day timing. The elementary day will begin at 8:45am and end at 2:45pm. Students will be dropped off starting at 8:35am. Grade 6 students will enter in the elementary wing doors that are facing Kirkdale Road. Parents will drop their children off through the drive-thru loop only. Parents must remain in their vehicles while dropping their children off. It is strongly recommended that students arrive at 8:35am to allow time for them to get ready for the day.
Parents will need to pick up their children promptly at 2:45pm in the drive-thru loop.
Contact Information:
If you have any questions throughout the school year, please feel free to contact me at jolsen@gcspei.ca.
Looking forward to class on Wednesday,
Mr. Olsen
