IPSCO Pool

Hello!

Our Ipsco Trip is this Friday and here is what we need each student to remember!

In the backpack:
o    2L of water (preferably in 2 jugs, water half frozen then filled to keep cool)
o    healthy lunch and healthy snacks in re-useable containers – leave as little mess as possible
o    suntan lotion and bug spray (preferably a lotion)
o    HAT IS A MUST!!!
o    Swim wear, water gun (1 only and little)
o    Towel

The teacher will provide footballs, soccer balls, bocce ball sets, etc.

Students are responsible for putting on suntan lotion and bug spray. We will make sure they put on suntan lotion before we leave and again at lunchtime. However, students are responsible for the rest of the day. Bug spray will be put on at Ipsco park.

The rules at Ipsco pool indicate that students from Grade 2-3 are not permitted in the pool as there is no shallow end. Grade 4-5 students are permitted to swim, but must bring a life jacket if not comfortable in deep water. There is a spray pad at Ipsco that the Grade 2-3 students can play at instead of swimming. We have no exceptions for these rules! Grades 2-3 students will not be in the pool.

Any parents wishing to help out at Ipsco are welcome, but must meet us there. We have no room on the bus! We leave the school at 10:30 a.m.

There is a canteen at Ipsco. Students are responsible for their own money. The canteen is not to be used for lunch.
