2026-2027

Dear Stinger Parents,

As we celebrate Diwali and Remembrance Day this month, we will remind our students about being kind and compassionate to others.  It is a good time for us to remember everyone who helped with the war to allow us the freedom we have in Canada.  We hope to continue this idea of thinking and taking care of others throughout the month of November.  We had an assembly on Thursday that inspires kids through magic presented by Mr. Steve.  There were amazing tricks that related to how kids can be amazing by being safe, makling good decisions, being kind to one another and working hard.  It was a great presentation, with amazing tricks for all our students.

Remembrtance Day Assembly and Call Out for Colour Guards

Our Remembrance Day Assembly will be on Tuesday at 11:00.  Parents are welcome to join us at 10:50 am to sit in the gym as all classes will be presenting a wreath and some classes are presenting songs and poems.  If your child is in cadets, scouts, cubs, beavers or brownies please let their teacher know so that can come dressed in the uniforms to be part of our Remembrance Day Assembly.  We would love for them to share their colours and be part of our introduction to our assembly.

Lost and Found

Parents our lost and found continues to grow with jackets and sweaters.  Please put your child’s initials on the tag by their waist and we can get the items back to them.  Winter Break is coming soon and if the clothing is not claimed we will donate to the local thrift store.

Volleyball

Both our Grade 6 and 7 teams having be playing volleyball for the last two weeks.  It is going very well and the students are having a great time playing with one another and increasing their skills with every game they play.  Go Stingers go!!

See our photo below.  A big thank you to the 30 students who participated in our pumpkin carving contest.  We had 5 winners overall, and we congratulated all of them for putting their pumpkin and creativity out there for the day.  We are now in the Month of November, and we are excited to celebrate Diwali this Friday at Chalmers.  Our students will be painting their diyas this week to celebrate the Festival of Light.  We are looking forward to a great day Friday.  Lastly, it will be PJ Day tomorrow Monday Nov. 2nd as it is a tradition to wear PJ’s the first day back after Halloween. Please be sure to share this with your child and a stuffy is okay too.

Parents we continue to increase our lost and found items.  Please if you could take a moment to intial the tag on the waist for all jackets and hoddies it would be greatly appreciated.

The Grade 6 and 7 students had their first week of volleyball games which were great.  Come and cheer them on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school from 3:15-4:15.  Go Stingers Go!!!

Dear Stinger Families,

It is hard to believe that we are almost heading into November.  We wanted to thank everyone who was able to make it to the parent teachers conferences last week to talk about your child’s learning, what is going well, and what areas they could work on.  We appreciated all the families that were able took look at our lost and found as several pieces of clothing were recovered which is nice to see items get back to their owners.  We will be hosting an assembly for the students to say thank you for all their hard work with following our community expectations.  We will also go over the expectations again quickly to remind others to have consistency with all students.  The school is excited about having some fun with our Halloween parade that is coming up on Friday.  Parents are welcome to come see the parade and it is always a joy to see the students come in their costumes for the day.  I wil share some Halloween reminders below.  October has been a wonderful month of learning in all the classrooms and we are looking forward to the month of November starting next week.  We are also excited to welcome our four student teachers from UBC for the next two weeks.

As the weather is going to change very quickly and jackets will likely stay on, it will still be helpful if you could intial the tag by the waist with your child’s intials so that we can return it back quickly.  This would be very helpful with jackets and sweaters in particu;lar.  Please remeber to dress for the weather with boots, jackets, and umbrellas as the students will be going outside for majority of the time each day.

Congratulations to our 50 cross country runners who took part in the run at Sunshine Hills on Wed. afternoon.  The students worked hard, ran very good races and should be proud of their efforts.  Ms. Landry and I were very impressed with all their hard work. Well done and we are excited for track coming up in the spring for our Gr. 3 to 7’s staring in April.

The Grade 6 and 7’s are also getting very excited about the start of volleyball next week.  The games will be held either home or away on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30- 4:30 at the latest.  We hope the teams have a lot of fun and an exciting season.

2026-2027

Dear Stinger Families,

This week we are holding parent teacher conferences for your child on Tuesday 2-6pm and Thursday 2-4 pm.  We are excited to have you come in and talk to your child’s teacher to see how your child is doing since school started.  If you have not made an appointment to meet your child’s teacher you can add yourself by logging into parent connect, clicking on your child, and then clicking interview on the top bar.  Once there, you can check off a time that works.  We hope to see you over the two days.  If you are coming to the parent teacher interviews can you be sure to pass and look at the lost and found that will be located outside the front of the school.  The lost and found is overflowing with items and especially jackets that are going to be very useful in the next coming months as the weather is changing.  Also, as the wesather is still nice please remind your students if they take a jacket or sweater off at recess or lunch to be sure to go get it once recess or lunch is finished.  We are looking forward to a great short week ahead.

As mentioned above our lost and found is overflowing due to the great weather which is quite nice and students are leaving their items on the ground after recess and lunch.  When your child puts on their coat for these colder mornings could you please put their intials on the tag by their waist before they leave home,  it makes it is so easy for the staff to see this and get their jacket back to your child and saves you to have to look for it.  We have collected over 12-15 jackets over the last two weeks.

We are excited that our Cross country team will be taking part in the meet at Sunshine Hills starting at 3:30 pm with our Grade 2 Girls and ending with our Gr. 7 Boys runnning at 4:45.  The Gr. 7 boys race will finish at approximaately 5:15 pm.  If your child is taking part, a reminder that you are responsible for taking your child to the event and back.  If you are taking other students please arrange with their families.  A big thank you to Ms. Landry and Ms. Notting for getting our students ready to race on Wednesday.

The Gr. 6 and 7’s have been practicing well for volleyball season to start.  They are looking forward to starting their season next week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Both the Grade 6 and 7’s will play on both Tuesdays and Thursdays as the teams are co-ed and start at 3:30 and finish by 4:30.

2026-2027

Dear Stinger Families,

We hope you had a wonderful long weekend and many of you enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday.  It was a beautifdul weekend and hope you were able to spend time with family and friends. There is a lot to be thankful for and we are grateful that our students are working hard and learning plenty in their classrooms.  We are excited about what they are learning and hoping that you are asking your child about school.  Get them to share what they are learning by asking: How it is going? What are you excited about? What is your child feeling successful in?  It is great when your child can share the great things that are happening at Chalmers.  Also, the PAC had Defy Martial Arts come to the the school on Thuresday and Friday and the students loved it!  They seemed very excited and we hope that your child told you all about it.

Our lost and found is getting full on one side which is too much already and plenty of jackets left behind because of the nice weather.  Again, we would love to get these items back to your own homes and ask that you could please put initials on the tags of jackets, sweaters/hoodies, and at the bottom of waterbottles.  It is so nice when things can be given back to the students and it less work at the end of the term.  My goal is to limit the amount of clothing in the lost and found and hoping that our community can help.

Sporting Events

Our students are practicing for our Cross Country Running Event at Sunshine Hills.  If your child is practicing for this event you will be getting a notice on Tuesday to allow them to participate on Wed. Oct. 21st at Sunshine Hills from 3 – 5:30 pm from Gr. 2 to Gr. 7.  We also have our Gr. 6 and Gr. 7 students practicing for volleyball.  They will start games in the coming weeks starting on Tues. Oct. 27  and on Thursdays evenings from 3:30-4:30.

It is so great to see your child riding their bikes or scooters to school.  Please remind them to walk their wheels when they are on the asphalt around the school.  Also, it would be great if students walk their wheels on the asphalt sidewalk and not walk or ride on the road of the parking lot as cars can be moving in that area before and after school,

Parents please sign up for your conferences using parent connect and once online please look for PTI in the tab and choose a time either on Tues. Oct. 20  from 2:10 pm – 6pm or on Thur. Oct. 22 from  2:10 pm – 4pm).  We look forward to seeing you!

Halloween Parade and Costumes

We love our students to dress up in their halloween costumes on Fri. Oct. 30th and here are a few reminders about costumes.

As Halloween approaches, we want to remind you of the importance of choosing costumes that are fun and respectful. Costumes that use traditional clothing, cultural symbols, or stereotypes can hurt people, even if unintentionally, and show disrespect to members of our community. Choosing costumes that don’t use or make fun of someone else’s culture demonstrates kindness, respect, and care for everyone in our school. This expectation aligns with our code of conduct, and students whose costumes are harmful to others will, at the very least, be asked to change or remove them. We look forward to a creative, fun, and thoughtful Halloween.

We encourage all students to celebrate Halloween safely with the following hints and tips:

1. Practice costume safety: Make sure all costumes, wigs and accessories are fire resistant. Make sure the costume is comfortable and doesn’t pose a tripping hazard for your child.

2. For costumes worn to school: Please ensure your child’s face is visible at all times. Masks and any other items that prevent students from being identified will not be permitted at school.  Costumes must not include weapons, replica weapons or objects that can be mistaken as such.

3. If using makeup, choose non-toxic cosmetic products and test on a small area first to see if any irritation occurs. Many kids have sensitive skin.

We are excited for our fun filled day!

The Weekly Buzz  Oct. 5th to Oct. 9th

2026-2027

Dear Stinger Families,

It is hard to believe that we are already in October and we are moving right along.  The students are doing well and we will keep instilling our community and classroom expectations each day to make Chalmers the best place to be by taking care of ourselves, others, and this place.  Please remember that the weather is changing so please dress your child accordingly with boots or rain jackets as they will go outside on most days when it is raining.  It is great for the students to get fresh air and helps with their learning.  As we move into October, the workload and concepts start to bulld and there is a lot to know.  If your child is having difficulty with something remind them to have a growth mindest and instead of thinking they can’t get a concept remind them that they just have not gotten it “yet” and that practicing will help out a lot.  This simple idea can go a long way!

We have a lot to be thankful for in October and we are looking forward to some fun with Thanksgiving and Halloween coming up soon.  There we will be a lot of great learning happening and we are excited to see your child continue to grow and share what they are learning each week.

Parents,  The lost and found is getting larger each day and I am always checking for intials on each piece of clothing.  I have returned several items to students and it is much easier with some intials.  If you could please intial students jackets, sweaters/hoodies, and water bottles it saves a lot of work at the end of the term, and you also get your child’s clothing back which is aleways nice.

Parents, this is a reminder that the school parking lot is for staff only, school buses or anyone with a handicapped card visible.  I know picking up at the end of the day is not easy but we have students who use the crosswalk in the parking lot and this becomes a safety concern.  Also, the cones setup in front of the school are no parking or stopping areas.  Please avoid stopping there as again it is a hgh traffic area where we need cars moving and not blocking araes or making it less visible for our students as they walk out of the school.  If you have difficulty finding parking you could always park on 75 A Ave. and have your child cross the crosswalk by the school or 75 B Ave and have your child walk to the back of the school and up the stairs in the field.  These are other great options for you to get your child while we keep the parking lot and cone areas free of stopped vehicles.  Thank you.

Sports at Chalmers

Our Gr. 6 and 7’s are starting practices for Volleyball during lunch hours and games will start soon in the week of Oct. 27th.  All the volleyball games will be on Tues. and Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 at the latest.  We are also excited to have our students from Gr. 2 to Gr. 7 run in our Cross Country Meet happening at Sunshine Hills on Wed. Oct. 21st from 3:15-5:30.  Gr. 2’s forst and then to the Gr. 7’s.  Practices will happen during lunch hour on Tuesdays.

Dear Stinger Families,

We had a great open house on Thursday and thank you to all the parents that attended to meet your child’s teacher.  We also appreciate the PAC and all the food and fun activities that they had taking place that evening.  We also had our Terry Fox Run on Friday and all the students ran very well to support Terry’s cause.  If you have not yet donated a toonie for Terry, we will still collect the money over the next few days.

This week we will be moving into October, and the weather will change very quickly. We try to send out the students every recess and lunch so please remember to dress your child for BC weather.  Be sure your child comes with a rain jacket, boots and umbrella (for primary) as this will keep them from getting wet.

2026-2027

Dear Stinger Families,

Welcome to our Kindergartens as they start their first official week.  We are looking forward to them being part of the school and on the playground.  As for the rest of the school we almost completed a full week of school in your child’s classroom and school supplies are organized and ready to use.  Over the last week and throughout the month this will be a very important time that teachers and staff will go over the class and school expectations, routines and procedures.  As some teachers have different expectations within the classroom, we have a set of community expectations that were shared with all the students in an assembly last Wednesday.  As Stingers, we try to be the best we can bee, by taking care of self, taking care of others and taking care of this place.  These expectations included the ways we walk in the hallway, how eating time takes place in classrooms, and being respectful to spaces like the washroom or when each child plays outside.  We are hoping to reiterate these expectations so that as a Chalmers community all the students are on the same page.  We have already seen some great routines being followed and are excited to continue to teach, review and learn these effective routines.

Lost and Found

There are already 15 items in the lost and found and you may have noticed the trolley at the front of the school.  For you to get your child’s clothing back please take a look at the rack or put your child’s initials on their jackets, sweaters or hoodies, and water bottles (even on the bottom).  I already returned four items by having initials, it really helps.  If you could take the time to do this it would be so appreciative otherwise it will be donated near the winter break.

Daily Hot Lunch

Daily Hot Lunch will begin on Monday Sept. 21^st.  Unfortunately, you can’t order for this Monday or Tuesday but if you go to the link or continue with your account you can order the hot lunch.  https://www.thelunchlady.ca/

Individual student photos will take place on Tuesday Sept. 22nd

Terry Fox Fundraising

This week we will be helping Terry continue his fight for cancer by collecting a Toonie for Terry to help with Cancer research.  If your child could bring in a $2 you can help to continue to learn more about cancer and ways to prevent it.  We will be holding our Terry Fox Run on Friday Sept. 24^th at 1:30 pm.  The Grade 1-7 will run around the school grounds and the Kindergarten’s will run in the gym.
